Directions
Combine flour, salt, baking powder, 1 egg, sugar, and butter.
Gradually add enough wine to make a firm dough. Knead until smooth and elastic.
Roll into very thin sheets; cut into 12 squares.
- 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.
- Heat 3 to 4 inches deep olive oil in deep pan. Fry cannoli until golden brown, drain well on paper towels, and cool.
Remove metal tubes.
- Combine remaining part of egg with ricottta cheese, orange flower water, candied orange and chocolate and blend well.
Fill cannoli with cheese mixture.
Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.
