008 Sicilian rolls (Cannoli siciliani)

Ingredients (for 15-18 rolls):
  • 2 glasses of white wine (or Marsala whine)
  • 375 g flour
  • 31 g butter
  • 31 g sugar
  • 500 g ricotta (Italian fresh cheese)
  • 190 g powdered sugar
  • 150 g candied fruits or jelly babies
  • 1 egg white
  • oil for frying
Process flour, sugar, butter and whine to a firm dough. Let it rest at room temperature for an hour. Put the ricotta cheese through a sieve and mix it with powdered sugar and candied fruits. Then roll out the dough, cutting out squares 10x10 cm. Put them on wooden rolls wrapped with aluminium foil, fix the edges with egg-white and fry them in hot oil. When cold, put the rolls of the wood and fill them with the ricotta cream.

Decorate it with powdered sugar and candied fruits.
