Cannoli Shells
Method
Cannoli Shell Preparation
- 1
Make the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, white wine (or vinegar), and melted butter. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

Roll and Cut the Dough
After resting, roll out the dough as thin as possible (about 1/8 inch thick). Use a round cutter (about 4 inches in diameter) to cut out circles. Wrap each circle around a cannoli tube, sealing the edges with a little water.

Fry the Shells
In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the wrapped dough until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from oil and let cool on paper towels. Carefully remove the shells from the tubes.
