The buche de Noel, or Christmas log, was created in the late

real logs that burned on hearths throughout the night on Christmas
Eve. Our version can be decorated with Candied Cranberries or fresh
currants. Enjoy with a glass of orange liqueur or Sauternes.

FOR BUTTERCREAM: Whisk egg yolks, sugar and flour in medium bowl to
blend well. Bring half and half to simmer in heavy medium saucepan.

to same saucepan and cook until mixture boils and thickens, whisking
constantly. Transfer mixture to medium bowl. Add chocolate and orange
