Cannoli Shells

Method

Cannoli Shells Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in egg yolk and red wine until a dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Roll and Cut

    On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into circles (about 4 inches in diameter).

  3. 3

    Form the Shells

    Wrap each dough circle around a cannoli tube, sealing the edges with a little water.

  4. 4

    Fry the Shells

    Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the shells until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
