Instructions:
Instructions: 1. Combine flour, salt, baking powder, 1 egg, sugar, & butter; mix well.

2. Gradually add enough wine to make a firm dough. Knead until smooth & elastic. Roll into very thin sheets; cut into 12 squares.

3. Place metal cannoli tubes diagonally onto each square so tube divides each square into 2 triangles. Lay points of triangles over tubes so they meet in middle.

Separate remaining egg & use a little of the egg white to moisten overlap.

Press gently to seal.

4. Heat 3-4 inches deep olive oil in deep pan. Fry cannoli until golden brown, drain well on paper towels, & cool. Remove metal tubes.
