Cannoli shells: 1 3/4 cups unsifted, regular all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 egg, slightly beaten, 2 tablespoons firm butter, cut in small pieces, about 1/4 cup dry Sauterne, 1 egg white, slightly beaten, shortening or salad oil for deep frying, Ricotta Filling (see right), powdered sugar, chopped sweet chocolate and halved candied cherries for garnish. Sift flour with salt and granulated sugar. Make a well in the center; in it place egg and butter. Stir with a fork, working from center out, to moisten flour mixture. Add wine, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough begins to cling together. Use your hands to form dough into a ball. Cover and let stand for 15 minutes. Roll dough out on floured board about 1/16 inch thick. Cut into 3 1/2 inch circles. With rolling pin, roll circles into ovals. Wrap around Cannoli Forms; seal edge with egg white. Turn out ends of dough to flair slightly. Fry two or three at a time in deep hot fat (350 F) for about 1 minute, or until lightly golden. Remove with tongs to paper towels to drain; let cool about 5 seconds; then slip out Cannoli Form, holding shell carefully. Cool shells completely before filling. Use pastry tube to fill. Sift powdered sugar over shell; garnish at ends. Makes 25. Ricotta filling: Whirl 2 pounds (4 cups) ricotta cheese in the blender, or press through wire strainer, until very smooth. Fold in 1 1/2 cups unsifted powdered sugar and 4 teaspoons vanilla. Mix in 1/2 cup each finely chopped citron and orange peel, and 1/4 cup chopped sweet chocolate. Chill several hours or overnight. Fluffy ricotta filling: Prepare 1/2 recipe Ricotta filling; then dolf in 1 cup heavy cream which has been whipped until stiff. Pistachio filling: To either of the above filling recipes, add a few drops green food coloring to tint pale green. Use chopped blanched pistachios for garnish. |
