Ingredients

• ✓ cinnamon
• bread flour
• semolina flour
• kosher salt
• water
• honey
• ricotta cheese
• water
• white sugar
• semolina flour
• egg yolk
• candied orange peel
• vanilla extract
• butter
• lard
• confectioners sugar

Instructions

1. 1 Make the dough: Mix bread flour, semolina flour, and kosher salt together in a large bowl. Mix in water and honey; the dough will be very dry, like pasta. If there is still dry flour after a few minutes of mixing, add up to 2 teaspoons more water to ensure all flour is moistened.
2. 2 Turn dough out onto a work surface and knead for a few minutes until smooth, firm, and not tacky. While you want a firm dough, it must still be workable. Divide dough into four pieces and flatten. Cover dough with plastic wrap when not working with it. Run each piece through a pasta machine on its widest setting a dozen or so times, folding it in half and rotating the sheet 45 degrees each time (see Tips). Dust with flour very sparingly, only if needed to prevent tearing. Repeat with remaining dough pieces. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
3. 3 Meanwhile, make the filling: Blend ricotta cheese in a food processor until smooth. Bring water to a boil in a saucepan, then stir in sugar. Sift in semolina flour, whisking to avoid clumping; it will immediately thicken up. Reduce the heat to low, fold in blended ricotta, and cook for 2 more minutes, stirring constantly.
4. 4 Remove from the heat and transfer filling to the food processor. Add egg yolks, one at a time with the processor running, until fully combined. Add orange peel, vanilla, and cinnamon, then pulse to mix. Transfer filling to a bowl and cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
5. 5 Divide each dough piece into four smaller pieces and cover with plastic wrap. Place clean kitchen towels over a work surface so you can lay each sheet of dough on the towels while you roll out the remaining sheets.
6. 6 Run each piece of dough through a pasta machine on progressively smaller settings until dough is as thin as possible. After running it through the machine, stretch each sheet as wide as you can without tearing. Dough sheets should stretch to three times their original width and be so thin you can see through them.
7. 7 Melt butter and lard in a saucepan. Place a sheet of parchment paper onto a work surface, and place the first sheet of pastry onto the parchment. Brush pastry with butter mixture. Place the second sheet above the first, overlapping 1/2 inch or so. Roll sheets up into a tight cylinder, leaving about 1 inch to overlap the next sheet. Place the third dough sheet onto the parchment, overlapping the second sheet, and brush with butter mixture. Continue rolling up the log of dough, repeating until all dough pieces are brushed with butter mixture and rolled. Wrap dough log in the parchment sheet, then wrap entirely with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
8. 8 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer chilled filling to a pastry bag or a 1-gallon zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
9. 9 Cut dough log into 1/2-inch slices; you should have 16 to 20 pieces. Holding it in both hands, use your thumbs to flatten each slice from the center outwards, then shape it into a cone. Pipe some filling into the center, close partially, and repeat to form remaining pastries.
10. 10 Bake in the preheated oven until dough turns golden brown and starts to peel back from the pastries, 20 to 30 minutes, basting a couple of times with any leftover butter mixture if desired. Serve warm pastries dusted with confectioners' sugar.

Ingredients

• ✓ cinnamon
• ricotta cheese
• butter
• all-purpose flour
• white sugar
• nutmeg
• kosher salt
• butter
• marsala wine
• egg white
• mascarpone cheese
• orange
• lemon
• dark chocolate
• honey
• pistachio nut

Instructions

1. 1 Transfer ricotta cheese to fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl and let drain, 8 hours to overnight.
2. 2 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat (such as Silpat™) and brush with 1 teaspoon melted butter.
3. 3 For the shells, place flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, 1 tablespoon melted butter, Marsala wine, and egg white in a bowl. Mix with a whisk until very smooth, relatively thin, and spreadable.
4. 4 Spoon about 2 tablespoons of batter per shell onto the prepared baking sheet. Swirl batter gently with the back of the spoon from the center outwards to create a fairly thin flat circle about 6 inches in diameter. You should be able to fit 2 per pan.
5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until edges are browned and centers have golden brown spots, 10 to 12 minutes.
6. 6 While shells are baking, make a few molds by twisting pieces of aluminum foil into 7-inch long cylinders about 2 inches thick.
7. 7 While shells are still hot, quickly roll each around a foil mold to form a tube, seam-side down. Press each tube gently with a spatula for a few seconds until cool enough to hold its shape. Repeat with remaining batter, baking and shaping in batches; let shells cool completely.
8. 8 For the filling, mix drained ricotta cheese, mascarpone cheese, orange zest, lemon zest, dark chocolate, and honey together with a spatula. Transfer into a plastic pastry or zip-top bag and cut off one corner.
9. 9 Pipe the filling into one end of a shell until it comes out slight from the opening, and then turn and fill the other end. Garnish both ends of exposed cheese filling with chopped pistachios. Serve within the next hour or two while cannoli remain crispy.

Ingredients

• ✓ cinnamon
• sugar
• shortening
• egg
• all-purpose flour
• baking powder
• vanilla extract
• salt
• milk
• fig
• raisin
• orange
• apple
• pecan
• white sugar

Instructions

1. 1 To make the dough: Beat 3 cups of sugar and butter together in a medium bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla, and salt; mix well. Blend in flour and baking powder by hand, then knead dough until smooth and workable. Add enough milk to reach a soft, workable consistency. (This takes time and effort, but you'll know the dough is ready when it becomes smooth).
2. 2 To make the filling: Place chopped figs, raisins, chopped orange, and chopped apple in a food processor; pulse until the mixture is finely chopped but still has texture. If the mixture is too dry or thick, mix in up to 1 cup of water, if desired. Transfer to a bowl and stir in chopped pecans, ½ cup sugar, and cinnamon, then knead everything together by hand until combined. The mixture will be sticky.
3. 3 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
4. 4 Roll out a portion of the dough into a thin sheet on a lightly floured surface. Spoon a line of fig mixture down the center. Dampen the edges of the dough with water and fold over the filling, sealing fig filling inside. Cut the filled strip into 2-inch pieces or to your desired length. Make 2 or 3 slits in the top of each cookie to allow steam to escape. Arrange cookies on prepared baking sheets; repeat with remaining dough and filling.
5. 5 Bake cookies in the preheated oven until edges are golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes. Cool on baking sheet briefly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
