Cannoli -- Tube Recipe

Deep Fat (for frying)
1 1/2 cups flour
2 tblsp    sugar
6 tblsp    sherry
1/2 tsp    salt

Sift the flour and add sugar and salt. Make a well in
the center, add the sherry and work to a smooth,
fairly stiff dough (add a little more sherry if
necessary). Knead the dough on a lightly floured board
for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and
chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Remove from the refrigerator and allow dough to reach
room temperature. Roll as thinly as possible and cut
into 3 1/2 inch circles. Roll circles around the
tubes, moisten the edges with water and press down to
firmly seal. Turn out ends of dough so as to flare
slightly. Heat the deep fat to 350 - 375 F and fry
several cannoli at a time in a fry basket until golden
brown (takes about 1 minute). Lift out and drain on
paper towels and remove cannoli tubes. Use your
favorite filling to stuff the cannoli.
