Procedure
0. For the wafers: In a bowl, combine the flour, butter (the original recipe calls for lard), sugar, and a pinch of cinnamon, and mix well. Add the egg and Marsala and mix until smooth.
1. Let the dough rest, covered, for about 30 minutes. Roll out the dough thinly and cut out circles, wrapping them around metal tubes. Fry in hot oil until golden brown, then let cool. It's important to use very hot oil to prevent the wafers from absorbing too much oil and becoming greasy.
2. For the filling: In a bowl, mix the ricotta with the powdered sugar until creamy. Add the chocolate, candied fruit, orange zest, and spices of your choice. Mix well until smooth.
3. Let the ricotta filling rest in the refrigerator for a few hours before filling the cannoli to improve the consistency. To assemble: fill the chilled wafers with the ricotta cream using a piping bag. Decorate the edges with additional chocolate chips or candied fruit pieces.
