Directions
Cannoli, This is one of my favorite Italian desserts and the perfect ending to any Italian dinner The shells are pretty simple to make, and taste so much better than the ready-made shells you buy in the Italian markets Note that cooking time also includes chilling time , Just a question here Is this traditionally how cannoli are made? I only ask bc I remember my Italian grandmother & mother making these when I was a child For some reason the only thing I thought I remembered about them was that they had orange zest in either the filling or shell I could be completely off base & thinking of another dessert Thanks, Like many people who reviewed this, I found that the dough was WAY to dry I added another 1/2 Cup wine, 2 T vanilla, and finally some water until the dough came together They ended up being delicious and the filling was amazing I cannot give a higher review through because the recipe, as written, is incorrect Next time I am going to try keeping the flour at 4 cups and doubling everything else
