Recipe Ingredients

1 1/2 cups	93g / 3.3oz	All-purpose flour
1		Salt
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Baking powder
2		Eggs
4 teaspoons	20ml	Sugar
2 tablespoons	30ml	Butter
1 cup	237ml	Marsala or dessert wine
		Olive oil
1/2 lb	227g / 8oz	Ricotta cheese
4 teaspoons	20ml	Orange flower water
1/2 cup	73g / 2.6oz	Diced candied orange or - citron
1 oz	28g	Bitter chocolate - crushed
		Confectioners' sugar

Recipe Instructions

1. Combine flour, salt, baking powder, 1 egg, sugar, and butter; mix well.

2. Gradually add enough wine to make a firm dough. Knead until smooth and elastic. Roll into very thin sheets; cut into 12 squares.

3. Place metal cannoli tubes diagonally onto each square so tube divides each square into 2 triangles. Lay points of triangles over tubes so they meet in middle. Separate remaining egg and use a little of the egg white to moisten overlap. Press gently to seal.

4. Heat 3-4 inches deep olive oil in deep pan. Fry cannoli until golden brown, drain well on paper towels, and cool. Remove metal tubes.

5. Combine remaining part of egg with ricotta cheese, orange flower water, candied orange, and chocolate and blend well. Fill cannoli with cheese mixture. Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.
