Cannoli

You need to use the cannoli tubes sold in Italian grocery stores. Ths is the best cannoli I've ever had. 14 Tablespoons confectioners sugar 2 Tablespoons butter 1 egg 1 cup flour 1 Tablespoon wine vinegar Olive oil and vegetable oil 1 container ricotta cheese 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1 Tablespoon heavy whipping cream The shell: Mix 2 Tablespoons confectioners sugar with butter, egg, flour and vinegar. If it is too stiff, add a little water. Heat a pot with 1/2 olive oil and 1/2 vegetable oil. Let dough stand at room temperature for z30 minutes. Roll out the dough. Wrap around the tube. Seal ends with water. Put into hot oil until golden brown. The filling: Mix ricotta, 12 Tablespoons confectioners sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, cream. Fill shells and refrigerate. You can alo freeze them and thaw before serving. You may dip the ends in chocolate chips or crushed pistachios or leave them plain.
