Ingredients
1 1/2 c. ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR1 pinch SALT
1/2 Tsp. BAKING POWDER
2 EGGS
4 Tsp. SUGAR
2 Tbs. BUTTER
1 c. MARSALA OR DESSERT WINE
OLIVE OIL
1/2 lb. RICOTTA CHEESE
4 Tsp. ORANGE FLOWER WATER
1/2 c. DICED CANDIED ORANGE OR CITRON

Directions
1. Combine flour, salt, baking powder, 1 egg, sugar, and butter; mixwell. 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 ricottta cheese, orange flower
water, candied orange, and chocolate and blend well. Fill cannoli with cheese mixture. Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.
