Directions

Shells:
Mix all purpose flour, salt, sugar. Add butter by cutting into dry mixture using fork or hand.

Mix in wine. Knead slowly to form a soft dough. Let the dough sit in the refrigerator for 30 min.

Heat oil on a high heat. Divide the dough in equal parts. On a floured surface roll the dough in a thin circle with a rolling pin.
-
With a cutter, cut out circles in the dough. Remove the extra dough and add it to the unused dough.
-
Wrap circles around cannoli molds, allowing the ends to overlap and seal together to form the shell.
-
Fry shells in oil until golden, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Allow to cool slightly (1-2 minutes). Using kitchen towel, carefully slide shells from mold and allow to cool.

Assembly:
Take cooled cannoli shells and pipe in filling (shrikhand/ricotta cheese). Dip finished cannoli in toppings. Finish with powdered sugar.
