Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a food processor, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and kosher salt; pulse to blend. Add cold, cubed unsalted butter, and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually pour in dry white wine and add the large egg, processing until a cohesive dough forms. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface, kneading it for 3-5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic film, and allow it to rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy saucepan to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the rested dough to about 1/16 inch thick, then cut into 4-inch rounds.
- Wrap each round around cannoli forms, brushing the edges with egg white to seal.
- Carefully lower the wrapped forms into the hot oil, frying for about 1 minute per side. Watch for a golden brown color indicating they are done.
- Once golden and crispy, remove the cannoli shells from the oil, allowing them to drain on paper towels. Gently remove the shells while they are still warm.
- Let the shells cool completely to maintain their delightful crunch before filling them with your desired fillings.

Notes
