CANNOLI

150g plain flour
½ tsp each bicarbonate of soda and baking powder
25g caster sugar
A pinch of ground cinnamon
A pinch of salt
1 egg yolk
2 tbsp white wine
2 tbsp brandy
30g butter, melted
½ lime, zested

Cannoli moulds
Oil for deep frying

FILLING
450g mascarpone
70g icing sugar sifted
1 tsp vanilla extract
Zest and juice of 2 limes
pinch of salt

50g pistachios chopped
50g white chocolate

Mix together the dry ingredients – flour, baking powder, bicarb, sugar, cinnamon and a pinch of salt in a bowl.

Add the wet ingredients - egg yolk, wine, brandy, melted butter, lime zest. Mix with a spoon.

Bring together to form a dough, then using your hands knead until smooth. Wrap in cling film and leave to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Roll out the dough as thinly as possible and cut into rounds. This should make about 10 but this will depend on the size of your cutter and how large or small you want the cannoli.

Lightly brush the cannoli rounds with oil. Wrap the circles of dough round around a cannoli mould and use some of the egg white to stick the two edges together, pressing lightly.

Heat some oil to 180C and deep-fry the cannoli still in their moulds, in small batches of two to three until they’re golden brown. Leave to cool.

Beat together the ingredients for the filling and chill in the fridge.

When completely cool dip the ends of each cannoli in melted white chocolate and leave to set.

Put the filling into a piping bag, then fill each cannoli shell with the mixture.

Finally dip each end in chopped pistachios and dust everything with icing sugar.
