Gluten-Free Cannoli Shells
- 1/2 pounds, 1-5/8 ounces, weight Sweet Sorghum Flour
- 3-5/8 ounces, weight Cornstarch
- 2 ounces, weight Arrowroot
- 1 ounces, weight Potato Flour
- 6 Tablespoons Butter, No Salt Added
- 2 Tablespoons Sugar
- 1/4 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1-1/2 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
- 1/4 cups White Wine
- 1 whole Egg
- 1 Tablespoon Honey
- 5 Tablespoons Skim Milk
- 1 whole Egg, Beaten
- 2 cups Canola Oil
- In the bowl of a stand mixer whisk together the flour, cornstarch, arrowroot and potato flour. Cut in the butter and mix until it resembles crumbs.
- Add the sugar, cinnamon and xanthan gum. Slowly pour in the wine as you mix it in. Add the egg and honey and mix to combine.
- Add the milk 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough begins to hold together.
- Form dough into a ball and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for an hour.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal-sized pieces. Place 1 of the four sections of dough onto 1 piece of parchment paper. Place another piece of parchment on top of the dough. Roll out dough as thinly as possible; the standard thickness seems to be a dime.
- For the next step you can simply eyeball or I cut out a piece of cardboard into an oval shape about 4 inches long. Place the cardboard onto the dough and cut out the dough with a knife or pastry roller.
- Loosely wrap the oval of dough around a cannoli form and brush the overlapping edge with the beaten egg to seal it. Repeat with the other 3 sections of dough.
- Heat a Dutch oven over medium high heat and add the canola oil. Use a thermometer! Heat the oil to between 320 F and 400 F.
- Fry one cannoli in the oil for about 2 minutes. This cooks very quickly! Keep an eye on it-you want a nice golden hue. Remove it from the oil with a spatula. Drain on paper towels and repeat the process with all the dough. I let the cannoli cool for a few minutes before I removed the form.
- Notes:
- - You will need 4 cannoli forms (or you can re-use the same one for each) to complete this recipe.
- - Fill the cannoli only when you are about to eat them so they do not get soggy.
