                         -----FOR PASTA-----
    1 1/3  cup           Flour
    1      tablespoon    Butter
    1      Pinch         salt
                         Marsala wine
      1/2  teaspoon      Sugar
    1                    Egg white -- beaten
    1      tablespoon    Grated orange or lemon rind
                         Oil -- for frying
                         -----FOR FILLING-----
    1      pound         Ricotta cheese
    1      tablespoon    Candied citron -- or glaced
    2      tablespoon    Miniature chocolate bits -- or
                         Fruit -- slivered
                         Shaved semi-sweet chocolate
    2      tablespoon    Sugar
 
 PASTA: Combine flour, salt, sugar, citrus rind and butter and blend well.
 Add Marsala by the teaspoonful until dough is stiff. Chill for 2 hours.
 Roll dough on a lightly-floured board into a large rectangle. Cut into 4″
squares. Wrap squares around cannoli tubes so that 2 corners fold over and two
corners point outward. Brush the touching corners with egg white so that they
will stick together. Deep fry in hot oil until golden. Cool and remove from
tubes. Fill. Makes 10 to 12 cannoli. If you don't have cannoli tubes, make 2″
diameter tubes out of heavy-duty aluminum foil and fold dough accordingly.
FILLING: Combine all ingredients and fill the cannoli.
