🔥 Expert Tips for Perfect Homemade Cannoli
Let the dough rest: Knead well and let it rest for at least 1 hour. This develops gluten and gives the shells the right texture.
Roll thin: Roll dough to about 1/8 inch thickness. Thin dough = crispy shells!
Fry at the right temp: Keep oil at 350°F (175°C). Too hot = burnt shells. Too cool =
oily, soggy shells.
