A Recipe for
Chocolate Truffles
"Americans, more than any other culture on earth, are cookbook cooks; we learn to make our meals not from any oral tradition, but from a text. The just-wed cook brings to the new household no carefully copied collection of the family's cherished recipes, but a spanking new edition of ‘Fannie Farmer’ or ‘The Joy of Cooking’." |
| John Thorne, American food writer |

Food Tip |
*Note: Semisweet chocolate should be coarsely chopped. ** Unsalted
butter should be cut into small pieces. In a double boiler, melt the
chocolate and butter over simmering water. Remove from the heat and
stir in the vanilla. In a small bowl, gradually whisk the warm
chocolate mixture into the egg yolks. Cover and refrigerate until
firm, about 1 hour. Shape level tablespoons of the chocolate mixture
into balls and then roll them in the cocoa. Refrigerate the truffles.
