Method
Preparing Cannoli Shells
- 1
Make the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in egg yolk and wine or vinegar. Gradually mix in water until a dough forms. Knead until smooth, then wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Roll and Cut
Roll out the dough very thinly on a floured surface. Cut into circles (about 4 inches in diameter).

Shape and Fry
Wrap each circle around a cannoli tube and seal the edges with a bit of water. Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Prepare the Filling
