Broiled Truffles

Wash well and peel four or five truffles, cover them over with slices of bacon, dust over pepper and salt to taste. and wrap them round with four or five thicknesses of paper dipped in cold water, push them into hot cinders or ashes, and broil them for fifteen minutes or so. Remove them when done, take off two thicknesses or the whole of the paper, place them on a dish, and serve.
