Method
Cannoli Shell Preparation
- 1
Make the Dough
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in egg yolks and white wine until the dough comes together. Knead gently on a floured surface until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Roll and Cut the Dough
After chilling, roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a round cutter to cut out circles, approximately 4 inches in diameter.

Fry the Shells
