Cigar Rolls

My friend Devorah K. started a baking business when we were both newly married and living in Yerushalayim. Everything she made was delicious and looked perfect. It was fun getting to sample all her “imperfections.” These days, Devorah runs a successful party planning business in Cleveland. When her clients are lucky, Devorah will still get back into the kitchen and serve up her delicious goodies, including these, which are one of my favorites. Yield: 20 cannolis
