Yolk Drops

In a small saucepan with a thick bottom, combine the yolks, sugar, and butter

Bring to low heat, stirring slowly with a wooden spoon, always from the center outwards

When the mixture thickens and releases from the bottom of the saucepan, add the vanilla and stir well

Remove from heat and transfer to a greased refrigerator dish

Let the mass cool, cover with plastic wrap and reserve at room temperature until the next day – so it will be easier to shape the drops

Make balls with 1/2 tablespoon of the mass, pulling out a point to model like a drop

Cover with sprinkles and place in molds

Yields 60 units.
