                         -----FOR PASTA-----
    1 1/3   c            Flour
                         Pinch of salt
      1/2   ts           Sugar
    1       tb           Grated orange or lemon rind
    1       tb           Butter
                         Marsala wine
    1                    Egg white, beaten
                         Oil -- for frying
                         -----FOR FILLING-----
    1       lb           Ricotta cheese
    2       tb           Miniature chocolate bits, or
                         Shaved semi-sweet chocolate
    1       tb           Candied citron, or glaced
                         Fruit -- slivered
    2       tb           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.
