Craft delicious homemade cannoli shells that are light, crispy, and perfect for filling with sweet ricotta.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon white wine or Marsala
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl: the flour, sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.
  2. Add softened butter, egg, and white wine to the dry mixture and knead until smooth.
  3. Wrap the dough tightly in plastic and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Flour your work surface lightly and roll out the rested dough until it’s thin—about 1/8 inch thick.
  5. Using a round cutter, cut the rolled dough into circles, aiming for about 3-4 inches in diameter.
  6. Gently wrap each circle around a cannoli tube, sealing the edges with water or egg wash.
  7. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry the shaped shells until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
  8. Once golden, carefully remove the shells and drain them on paper towels. Allow cooling before filling.

Notes

Fill cannoli shells just before serving to maintain crispiness. Leftover filling can last up to a week in the fridge.
