Ingredients:

3	oz	Chocolate
1 1/2	oz	Butter
2	oz	Powdered sugar
2	tbsp	Fresh cream

Procedures:

1	Preparation: put cream, butter and grated chocolate into a pan.
2	The chocolate need not be grated fine.
3	The cream can be replaced by skimming the top off raw milk poured into a wide basin and allowed to settle.
4	Melt butter, chocolate, and cream in a double boiler, stirring to mix well.
5	When melted, remove the double boiler from the fire, leaving the hot water in the bottom pan to keep it warm.
6	Sift the powdered sugar in slowly, so that it will not form lumps, stirring constantly.
7	Let stand 24 hr.
8	In a cool place.
9	(in winter, 12 hr.
10	In a cold room will do).
11	At the end of this time, cut a piece of this chocolate about the size of a small nut, using a knife or spoon.
12	Roll it into a ball in the palm of the hand until the outside of the bonbon begins to melt a little.
13	Then roll it in grated or granulated chocolate, which will stick to it perfectly.
14	Let stand 2 hr.
15	Before serving, but in a place that is not too cold, because these truffles are better when they are a little soft.
16	Instead of rolling them into balls, you can also shape them to look more like truffles.
