Kannoli Tal-Irkotta
Ricotta-filled Cannoli
Ingredients
For the Pastry:
8 oz flour
2 tsps sugar
2 tsps drinking chocolate
2 tsps margarine
2 tsps shortening
2 tbsps red wine
1/4 pint cold water
For the Filling:
14 oz ricotta
2 oz plain chocolate
4 oz glace' cherries
2 oz icing sugar
4 oz blanched & roasted almonds
Method
Mash the ricotta, chop up the chocolate, cherries and almonds. Stir these
into the ricotta together with the sugar.
Make the pastry: either place all ingredients in an electric mixer and
blend, using a dough hook, or mix by hand, using the rubbing-in method.
Roll the pastry out thinly. Cut into rounds with a cutter and place each
round over a tube.
Heat some deep oil, and drop in a piece of lemon rind. Fry the cannoli a
few at a time turning them until they are evenly brown. When lemon rind
gets brown replace with a fresh piece. Cool the cannoli on absorbent
paper.
Fill cannoli when cool.
