                  Truffes Pralinees (Praline Truffles)

Recipe By     : Jolene Fincher <[email protected]>
Serving Size  : 1    Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : Truffles

 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1/2  lb            Good chocolate
                       About 1/2 glass water
  3                    Egg yolks
  3      oz            Butter
  1 1/2  oz            Praline paste

 Slowly melt the chocolate in the water, bring to a gentle boil, remove from
 the fire, and add the yolks, beating with a spatula, then replace on a low
 fire to poach the eggs in the chocolate. Do not stop beating. Remove from
 the fire and add the butter and the praline paste. Let cool, beating from
 time to time (this cooling takes a rather long time). When the mixture
 begins to solidify, take some with a spoon, place it in some grated
 chocolate (prepared in advance), and shape to resemble real truffles. These
 truffles keep a week. To keep a longer time, substitute vegetable
 shortening for the butter.
