So I finally made the cannoli's that I have been trying to make for a long time.As you all know (or don't) my blog and my over all "business" is to share recipes from around the world with you.Rather  your buying from me or just reading my blog I want you to taste the world.So I'm starting off with cannoli's.This recipe is not my own you can find it here cannoli along with the recipes for the filling.

Ingredients needed:
salt
2 eggs and egg white
flour
white vinegar

granulated sugar
cold water
vegetable oil or shortening for frying



equipment  needed:
bowl
clear wrap
spoon
measuring spoons
dry measuring cups
liquid measuring cup
whisk
rolling pin

cannoli tubes


                                                First add your dry ingredients and mix well

                               1/4 cup of sugar,3 cups of flour,and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon

                                                          1/4 teaspoon of salt

                                      Now add 3 tablespoons of shortening
                                                               2 eggs beaten
                                                           Add to dry ingredients
                                                 It should look something like this

                                   Go ahead an add 2 tablespoons of cold water

                                          2 tablespoons of white vinegar

                                                                  Mix it all up
                                                   Pour it out on to a floured counter
                                     Knead until elastic and smooth,about 5min.

                                                               cover in plastic
                                                           and refrigerate for 30min.
                                         After 30min. roll dough to a 1/8in thickness
                                                  Cut a oval shape to form the cannoli


                               place the tube in the center of the oval shaped dough.
                     Wrap dough loosely around tubes. Seal ends with egg white.
                                                          Fry until golden brown.
                                                               Remove from oil.
                                                Cool slightly and remove from tubes

                                               To remove tube,twist the tubes lightly
                                   it might stick a little so be careful not to break the canolli
