Meanwhile, if you don't have cannoli tubes you can actually make some with paper foil. If you don't want to use paper foil, here is a link to purchase the tubes. https://amzn.to/2Md89yH
Step 7
Divide your dough into equal parts. Roll your dough and thin it out using your pasta machine. (https://amzn.to/2VVi949 ) Start with the biggest number and work your way down.
Step 8
Using a round cookie cutter (a little bit smaller then your tubes), cut out numerous pieces.
Step 9
Place your foil tube in the middle of your dough and glue each end by brushing a small amount of egg white.
Step 10
Heat the shortening in a medium size pan until it completely melts.
Step 11
Fry your shells maximum 2 at the time, until they are nice and golden. Transfer them on to paper towel so that it absorbs the extra oil.
Step 12
Fill each shell with your filling of your choice. Have a look at my ricotta recipe. https://sugarellasweetshowto.blogspot.com/2019/01/ricotta-filling-recipe.htmln
You can also, dip each ends into chocolate chips or nuts.
