"romantic chocolate truffles"

"for a deceptively simple but luxurious tasting treat, try this recipe for truffles"

1/3 cup heavy cream
6 oz. dark chocolate finely chopped (or mini chocolate chips)
2 tbsp softened butter
unsweetened cocoa powder

1. Bring cream to a boil and poor over chocolate. Wait one minute then whisk until the mixture is smooth and shiny. Whisk in the butter completely; cover and refrigerate for 3 hours or until firm.

2. Scoop out teaspoonfuls of chocolate, squeeze them and roll them between your palms to form cherry-sized balls.



3. Roll the truffles around in a bowl of cocoa, then toss them from hand to hand to shake off excess. Cover and refrigerate until ready to eat. Warning! do not eat too many! They're very rich!

Aebleskivers!

A while back I heard a tall tale about a group of famished war weary Viking invaders retiring from battle and replenishing there strength by eating pancakes. The shields that had once been flat and smooth and provided double duty as a camp griddle now were completely covered in dents and dings. Not to be discouraged the proud Viking invaders made their beloved pancakes in the dents and a new tradition was born spherical pancakes filled with apple. Or so they say. At least some of them...

I found a recipe online called "Great-Grandma Hansen's Aebleskiver Recipe." and thought, "Hey I'll use that." but then I found this one...

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp Baking powder

1 tsp Baking soda

1 tbsp ground Cardamom

1/2 tsp salt

2/3 cup sugar

3 large eggs

1 tsp madagasgar bourbon vanilla

2 cups buttermilk

I also figured I might make a variety of fillings. you know, Savory Sausage and Havarti, Huckleberry, Blueberry, Chocolate you know, that kind of thing. so everyone should run out and buy a monk pan and start making these tasty little bites. I mean we are Danish afterall. Think tasty little donut pancakes...
