Ingredients
  

  • Prosciutto di San Daniele as needed
  • 260 g of flour
  • 30 g of butter
  • 1 egg
  • 50 ml of Marsala wine
  • 10 Mm of white wine vinegar
  • 500 g of sheep ricotta
  • Crumbled pistachios as needed
  • Basil to taste
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil as needed

Instructions
 

  • Mix the flour, egg, marsala, vinegar, room temperature butter and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
  • When the mixture has the right consistency, transfer it to a floured work surface and continue to work it. Roll the dough out into a thin sheet using a rolling pin.
  • Cut out 10cm discs of dough using a pastry cutter.
  • Wrap each disc around a cannoli mould and seal it by pressing the ends together very well. Once the cannoli are ready, fry them in hot oil until they are golden. This should only take 2 or 3 minutes.
  • Strain the, let them dry on kitchen paper and allow them to cool.
  • Prepare the filling in the meantime: mix the sheep ricotta with chopped basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until you get an even mixture.
  • After removing the mould from each cannolo, put the filling into a piping bag and fill them all.
  • Dip one end of the cannoli in the pistachio crumbs so that they stick to the filling. Garnish the other end with a slice of Prosciutto di San Daniele.
  • Now your cannoli are ready to be tasted.
