Categories: Italian, Cheese/eggs, Desserts
Yield: 18 servings
MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
3 c Ricotta cheese
1 1/4 c Sugar
2 ts Vanilla extract
1/2 c Finely chopped candied
Citron
1/4 c Semi=sweet chocolate pieces
MMMMM---------------------------SHELL--------------------------------
3 c Flour
1/4 c Sugar
1 ts Ground cinnamon
1/4 ts Salt
3 tb Shortening
2 Eggs, well beaten
2 tb White vinegar
2 tb Cold water
2 oz Pistachio nuts
1 Egg white, slightly beaten
FOR FILLING: Combine and beat until smooth (about 10 min. with an
electric mixer at medium-high speed) Stir in, mixing thoroughly,
citron and chocolate pieces Place mixture in refrigerator to chill.
FOR SHELLS: Sift together first 4 ingredients into a bowl. Cut
shortening in with a pastry blender until pieces are size of small
peas. Stir in eggs. Blend in, a tablespoon at a time, the vinegar and
cold water. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until
smooth and elastic, about 5 to 8 minutes. Use a small amount of
additional flour if necessary to get a smooth dough. Wrap in waxed
paper and chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Set out six aluminum cannoli tubes (6 inches long, about 3/4-inch
diameter). Set out deep saucepan or automatic deep-fryer. Add
vegetable oil (or half vegetable oil and half olive oil) and heat to
360 F. Cut an oval shaped pattern from cardboard (about 6 x 4 1/2
inches). Blanche in boiling water, then cool and finely chop
pistachios. Roll chilled dough an lightly floured surface to 1/8 inch
thickness. Cut with a pastry cutter and the oval pattern. Wrap dough
loosely around tubes slightly overlapping opposite edges. Seal edges
by brushing with egg white. press edges together to seal.
Fry only as many shells as will float uncrowded one layer deep in the
hot oil. Fry about 8 minutes or until golden brown, turning
occasionally in the oil. Drain over the pan before removing to paper
toweling. Cool slightly and remove tubes, then cool completely.
Continue forming and frying cannoli shells.
When ready to serve, fill with the chilled ricotta filling. Sprinkle
ends with the chopped nuts and dust with confectioners' sugar.

Title: CANNOLI ALLA SICILIANA
Categories: Pasta
Yield: 1 servings
-----Pastry Shells----------
3 c Sifted pastry flour
1/2 ts Cinnamon
1/4 ts Salt
2 lg Eggs
2 tb Melted butter
1/4 c Sugar
2 tb Warm water
2 tb White dry wine
1 pt Oil
3 tb Chopped pistachio nuts
1/2 c Powdered or confectioner's
-sugar
-----Filling----------------
1 1/2 lb Ricotta cheese or American
-pot cheese
3 tb Mild honey or 1/4 cup sugar
1/4 c Milk
1 tb Orange-flower water or
-almond extract
1 tb Diced citron
2 tb Chopped or shaved semisweet
-chocolate
1 tb Grated orange peel
-----Cannoli Cream----------
1 lb Skim milk ricotta cheese
1/4 c Skim milk
1/4 c Orange marmalade
1/2 ts Rum extract
1/3 c Golden raisins
1/4 c Slivered almonds, toasted
Bittersweet chocolate,
-shaved
Combine:
and mix with a fork the first 5 ingredients. Dissolve sugar in warm
water, add wine, and combine with flour mixture. Mix with wooden
spoon until well blended. Toss on lightly floured board and knead
until dough is soft, smooth, and manageable, about 10 minutes, adding
a little more flour, sparingly as needed. Divide dough in 2 parts;
cover and set aside in cool place 30 minutes. Roll out each piece of
dough into noodle thinness; cut into pieces 3 by 4 inches, or into
circles, with knife or fluted pastry wheel, and wrap each piece
around wooden sticks or aluminum cannoli tubes, about 3/4 inch in
diameter and 5 to 6 inches long. Lap over and press opposite ends of
dough together. Drop 3 or 4 sticks thus covered at a time into
3-inch-deep hot oil or fat and cook about 1 minute, turning to brown
evenly. Remove with tongs or perforated spoon; cool slightly and
gently slip off sticks; carefully, to prevent cracking, place shells
on absorbent paper. Fill (see below) when cold, just before serving,
to keep shells crisp. Garnish ends with chopped nuts and dust with
powdered or confectioner's sugar. (Yields about 2 dozen shells.)
For Filling: Combine and blend first 4 ingredients and rub through
sieve; add balance of ingredients; blend well and store in
refrigerator until shells are ready to be filled. Variations: Fill
shells with chocolate, coconut, or lemon pudding, whipped cream, or
custard, as desired. If you want to make your own cannoli forms: Cut
down a thin broomstick to 6-inch lengths; scrub with hot soap suds
until clean and smooth; rinse in hot water and dry thoroughly. Metal
or aluminum tubes about the same size may be purchased at hardware
and department stores.
Cannoli Cream: In a blender or food processor, whir ricotta cheese,
milk, marmalade, and rum flavoring until smooth. Stir in raisins.
Refrigerate one hour or longer. Stir in almonds before serving.
Divide mixture among 8 stemmed glasses. Sprinkle with shaved
chocolate. Makes about 2 1/2 cups.
