Instructions

In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in chilled butter until crumbly. Add egg and vinegar; mix until dough forms. Knead briefly, wrap in plastic, and rest for 30 minutes.
Roll out dough thinly and cut into circles. Wrap around cannoli tubes, sealing edges with water.
Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C) and fry shells until golden (1–2 minutes). Drain on paper towels and cool completely before removing tubes.
For the filling: Mix ricotta, powdered sugar, vanilla extract until smooth; fold in optional chocolate chips.
Fill cooled shells with filling using a piping bag just before serving; dip ends in pistachios and dust with powdered sugar.
