Work the dough to make it thin, then cut it with a round cookie cutter and roll around a tube, to get the classical cannoli’s shape we want. (If you do not have any round cookie cutter and the cannoli tubes, feel free to grab one from Amazon!) |

Warm up the lard into a pot. At the same time use the tubes to create the shells for the cannolo, giving them the classic shape. Once they get golden, take them off and let cool down. Careful! Those tubes get very, very hot! |
