-------- ------------ --------------------------------
-----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.
