-Pinch of salt
1/2 ts Sugar

----------------------RICOTTA FILLING---------------------------
1 lb Ricotta
2 ts Semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tb Candied orange peel, cut

CANNOLI: Mix flour, shortening, salt, and sugar. Add enough wine to
make a stiff but workable dough. Roll into ball; let stand for 1
hour. Roll out dough 1/8 inch thick. Cut into 5 inch squares. Place
cannoli tube across the corners of the square. (Cannoli tube should
be 8 inches long and 1 inch in diameter). First fold one corner
around the tube, then the other and press together. Fry in deep fat,
one at a time, until dark golden brown. Remove cannoli carefully and
let cool before filling.

RICOTTA FILLING: Cream ricotta well, add chocolate chips, orange
peel, creme de cocoa, and sugar; mix very well. Fill puffs with
filling. Submitted By MICHELLE HOWE On 07-30-95
