I know you wanted to know a while ago but if you are still looking for canolli shells, I get them at Vigo Importing Company, Inc. - Welcome They are priced better than most but you pay shipping. |

Never heard of Pallones...? I have found that Pasta and Provisions, Myers Park, on Providence Road South is awesome. The people there are extremely nice and helpful. I was just there yesterday picked up some fresh pasta and semolina flower...

Ferrucci's in Cornelius sells packaged cannoli shells. That is the only place I have found around Charlotte that I can buy them to keep on hand for whenever I want to make some (I usually buy several boxes since I live just across the border in SC). They are really not bad at all, not quite like homemade, but still pretty good.
They're like $3.99 for a box of six large shells (or at least were the last time I bought them). I have bought them from HT before as well, and was just appalled that I had to pay the same for a filled as unfilled shell. It was just way too expensive, especially if you are making them for a large crowd.

Go to Lowes foods. I know for a fact that you can buy them there since I work there.

At HT it depends on the person that takes care of you... the first time I went I was ticked that I had to pay the same price for the empty's but the second time I went back they charged me 1/2 price. |

Palones is @ the corner of Ardrey Kell and Tom Short Rd in the Fountains shopping center. They make their own cannoli cream and they're quite tasty.

Only because it's Christmas. . .
Here's the receipe to make them yourself:
Cannoli Shells:
1 3/4 unsifted regular all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tbs granulated sugar
2 tbs firm butter cut in small pieces
1/4 cup dry white wine (yeah and don't whine about opening a bottle. Drink the rest of the wine while you're whining about making these shells.)
1 egg white slightly beaten
Shortening or veg. oil for deep frying
powered sugar
Sift flour with salt and granulated sugar. Make a well in the center; in it place egg and butter. Stir with a fork, working from the center out, to moisten flour mixture. Add wine, one tbs. at a time. Be sure to continue drinking your wine because you want to be in a good spirit doing all this work instead of reading where you could buy these things on City-Data.. Add wine until dough begins to cling together. Use your hands to form dough into a ball. Cover and let stand for 15 minutes.
Roll dough out on floured board about 1/16 inch thick. Cut into 3 1/2 inch circles. With rolling pin roll cicles into oval. Wrap around the CANNOLI FORM (I don't know where you buy these in CLT)
I have had mine for a dozen years.
Seal edge with egg white. Turn out ends to flare. Fry two or 3 at a time in deep hot fat (350F) for about a minute or a touch golden. Remove w/tongs and let cool for 5 sec. before removing from form.
Cool shells completely before filling. Filling receipe next Christmas or sooner
if at least 1001 people ask for it. OH, it's Christmas. Make that 1 person.
Hint: There shouldn't be any wine left in the bottle after making these shells.
