INGREDIENTS

2 cups all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (cut into small pieces)
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons cold water
2 cups ricotta cheese
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped semisweet chocolate
3 cups vegetable oil

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large bowl, combine the flour, butter, sugar, and salt. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse meal. In a small bowl, combine the vinegar and cold water. Sprinkle over the flour mixture and stir with a fork until the dough comes together.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead it a few times to make sure all the ingredients are evenly distributed. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and chopped chocolate. Stir until well blended.
On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough to 1/8 inch thick. Cut out circles using a 3-inch biscuit cutter. Wrap each circle around a cannoli tube, overlapping the edges slightly. Seal the edges with a little beaten egg. Heat the oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 375°F. Fry the cannoli, a few at a time, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Let cool completely before filling.
Using a pastry bag fitted with a plain tip, fill each cannoli with the ricotta filling. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
