Wel done mate they look amazing

[@Jinngri]

I'[ve always wanted to try to make cannoli. Thank you for the great video!

[@elaineh5423]

I really enjoyed that wish I could try one

[@gabrielemalloggi]

Grazie mille per la ricetta! In Italia scarseggiano un po’ quelle di qualità, e tu sei riuscito a fare meglio di tutti anche dall’America. Complimenti 👏

Beautiful!

this looks really good

Thanks , enjoy...!!!

How long can you make the finished products ahead of time? Can you keep them in the freezer for a few days?

[@Nobody4rpresident]

Excellent tutorial! After making cannolis from 2-3 different recipes, yours (Lydia’s) is the best.....including the pasta machine method. I could never get the dough thin enough with a rolling pin. Thanks! PS - The pithy white on the orange peel is bitter. Removing as much pith as possible would improve the flavor.

[@Carnivorefitness2024]

Wow those look fantastic guys, a lot of work, but I know they rocked! Lemoncello season lol Happy New Year!

[@bowhunter2439]

OH yes, lemoncello soon LOL , Were going to making some dried sauseege too , tis the season , Happy New Year ...!!!

[@frankbiz]

This one is a saver. I watched many and this seems like one of the best. Only change I would do is get the metal tubes so they don't float because I would be using a cast iron frying pan to cook them. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@gl564]

I added cinnamon oil. It was so good.and I also used the ice cream cones to fill them with the mix

[@theresam567]

I wasn't hungry, but now I am. 😋

[@mimmacolombe6824]

Just wondering if the shells are more or less tender using dowels instead of hollow tubes?

[@Thatsmessedupman]

I can't get a consistent crispy shell. I made these. They have a crispness not also a oil softness feel. I tried peanut oil so 350, 375, 400F. On my Atlas I found that I need to go on number 6 which is a little thinner than 1/16 ". Setting 5 is over 1/16" and puffs up and remains soft. It will burn before it would be crispy. Setting 6 Only puffs up at the overlap where it is sealed. So that stays soft not crispy. There isn't much oil on the paper towels and that thin it only takes 30 to 40 seconds before they would get too dark/burn Any tips?

[@gabrielemalloggi]

Haven’t got the recipe’s website :/ What is it?

[@susanbovenzi7231]

Does it matter what type of wood the dowel is? Can pine contaminate the food?

[@bowhunter2439]

They were purchased from home depot , im not exactly sure what the wood is but if it is dry seasoned or dry to the touch you can wet season them in the hot oil for several minutes and you should be good to go.

[@normairisrodriguez9422]

Thank you!

[@Thatsmessedupman]

How many shells yield from this recipe?

[@bowhunter2439]

80 TO 85

bowhunter2439 happy new year!!

[@Geekwannabe]

Where did you purchase the cannoli dowels?

[@bowhunter2439]

Home Depot sells dowels three feet long, I cut them and seasoned in hot oil, they work perfect. My uncle (93) has his mother’s original made fro an old broom handle approximately 80 years old

[@normairisrodriguez9422]

Yes, the process at least making the shells are hard. But I taste canoli at Milano. I went there for 1996.

[@amandasibraa1702]

Hi, should I use the harder ricotta or smooth? Does it matter?

[@bowhunter2439]

Amanda Sibraa ricotta impastata can be found at Italian specialty stores

[@donchnz]

The best

[@paulhorstman]

Where can you buy the impastata ricotta?

[@bowhunter2439]

paulhorstman Restaurant Depot or an Italian specialties store

[@isruisrat]

What can I use instead of marsala or wine? Anything which contains no alcohol?

[@jennifertellef9012]

the alcohol will cook out in the fryer.

[@jennifertellef9012]

I used sherry wine from Walmart

[@akhaliq1212]

Can I omit the marsala wine for something else? As I’m not a drinker. Thanks in advance

[@GeneralAlex4]

Yes, plus it evaporates. You should get no alcohol in it.

[@lorraincassesso1611]

I enjoyed that but I don’t have a pasta roller and I don’t have a fryer so I have to look up and see if I can find a recipe on how they used to make them back in the day when they didn’t have all these little gadgets My grandmother’s not around anymore but I’m sure I can find a video out there that did it the old-fashioned way

[@bowhunter2439]

Lorrain Cassesso all you need to do is roll the dough out by hand and you can simply fry them on the stove top no problem

[@---om5vg]

bowh... Thanks BUT you didn't say anything below as to where we get the ricotta empastada???????? I can't find it anywhere ?????????????????? There's no recipe below either :( I'm not using store-bought ricotta cheese, I've tried it and I tried it different ways, it's disgusting it's nothing like the cannolis you buy.

[@ronaldfousek1079]

You gotta know somebody.

Wanted to hear the crunch 😢😂😂

[@amaiaamaiaa]

you're the cannoli king! the shell looks so good. I'll be using your video as reference tomorrow to make cannolis for thanksgiving. how many cannolis did you get from this recipe?

[@amaiaamaiaa]

also, was that a double recipe of the filling? I found Lydias recipe on allrecipes but it says 2lbs ricotta not 5

[@bowhunter2439]

no just the shell was lydias recipe , we changed it very little by adding more cinnamon , the filling is our recipe

[@amaiaamaiaa]

@@bowhunter2439 yes thanks, I ended up using your recipe for the filling but adjusting it proportionally for 3lbs ricotta instead of 5. Everything came out great! Heres a pic of how the cannolis came out,( i.imgur.com/fAxGytG.jpg ). Thanks for the vid!

[@bowhunter2439]

@@amaiaamaiaa Looks great , you can sift confection sugar through a strainer to fancey them up more too , nice job...!!!

Thank you gonna try it with wooden dowels this time. The metal ones just sink and stay sunk.

[@bowhunter2439]

@@maryc7243 The wood will float so you have to keep them submerged by placing the strainer on top as seen in the video , to have an even cook , also I put the dowels in for a minute by themselves (no dough)to start to get them heated for the first batch , four shells at a time.

[@maryc7243]

@@bowhunter2439 i was wondering about seasoning the wood. All of my Sicilian elders have passed and I'm unable to ask them for advice or recipes. My mother use to make rossettes. And after a few failed attempts at making them. Finally figured it out . I'll have to send you a picture of how they turn out.

[@maryc7243]

Just thought you'd like to know.the cannollis came out really good. Just need to tweek with the thickness of the dough. It kept sticking to the dowels. It's a work in progress. Thanks for the info.

nicely done yummy, ty4sharin..

can we ad kalua?

To the filling ? it may make give the filling a dark appearance , To the shells instead of Marsala ? couldn't hurt to try

In the beginning he say's he' candying orange rinds, than in the end its lemon rinds. Looks good.

You did let Bella have her cannolis 🧡 PLEASE don't tease the dog. She's Italian. Give Bella her cannolis. She's pretty too👍sundown color :-)

[@mpec9405]

Most use cinnamon or a drop of cinnamon oil in cream

[@francescampbell4731]

You're right. The one thing I've found is regardless of the home recipe I try, they never turn out as good as bakery bought cannoli filling. I've searched for it at Restaurant Depot, etch because I'm sure the bakery buys it in 5 gallon buckets, not making their own everyday, but I failed so far. Surely some bakeries do make their own, but not all.

I am all about homemade and trying new recipes, but I tell ya, I usually buy them at an Italian bakery in Toronto when we visit the kids for 35 cents a shell and they are excellent.

[@bowhunter2439]

one egg and one egg yoke is correct , figure it out .

[@jasguy2715]

To much cinnamon it will be to over powering. Should be just a hint of cinnamon. The wooden dowels are to narrow for proper cannoli shells they're also too short.

[@bowhunter2439]

Yes you can adjust the cinnamon to your liking but this will make 90 to 100 shells so 1/100th of a tea spoon per shell is hardly over powering , and these are for the delicate small Cannoli's not the thick shelled large ones , come on now get with the program...!!
