elastic. Roll into very thin sheets; cut into 12 squares.

3. Place metal cannoli tubes diagonally onto each square so tube divides
each square into 2 triangles. Lay points of triangles over tubes so they
meet in middle. Separate remaining egg & use a little of the egg white to
moisten overlap. Press gently to seal.

brown, drain well on paper towels, & cool. Remove metal tubes.
