Add the butter, the egg and mix thoroughly. Add the orange juice, the red wine vinegar, and pulse until the dough forms into a ball. Add water, if needed. On a floured surface, knead the dough for 3 minutes. Make a ball and cover it. Let it rest for 1 hour at room temperature. Roll the dough into a long and equal snake shape, about 12 inches long. Cut into slices the dough. (Each disc should be about 1/2 inch thick). This should give you about 18 cannolis. Using a rolling pin, make a flat round shape of each disc. Take each disc and roll them around the cannoli tubes. Using the beaten egg and a brush, brush the last part of the disc to make it stick to the roll.
