Canolli

Ouffff, another recipe I have not made since about 1992. Definitely must do again soon and display some pictures.

First time making was a total success... the filling that is. Don't think I would attempt the dough. Store bought are delicious provided they are fresh. Go to your Italian grocer and get some.

Ingredients

3 eggs
3 tbsp. sugar
3 tbsp. flour and a bit more
1 1/2 c. milk
1/2 lemon

The making of...

Boil 2-3" water in pot. Put another pot on top to form a bain-marie (double boiler) over.
In the bain-marie, whisk the eggs, sugar, and flour hard continuously until no lumps are left.
Add the milk and stir until no lumps.
Add the lemon and mix.
When thick, remove from heat and remove lemon.
Put in bowl and let cool. Cover with saran wrap and refrigerate.
Stuff canolli.
