Ingredients
1 stick plus 1 tbsp unsalted butter
4 oz semisweet chocolate
2 eggs
3/4 cup superfine sugar (I use regular granulated)
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
Special equipment: 4 (minimum 1 cup capacity) ramekins
Preparation
Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 400 degrees. Butter the ramekins with 1 tbsp butter
Either in a microwave or in a bowl suspended over a pan over simmering water, melt the chocolate and 1 stick butter, then set aside to cool.
In another bowl, mix the eggs with the sugar and flour with a hand whisk and beat in the cooled butter and chocolate mixture. Divide the mixture between the 4 ramekins. Bake on the heated baking sheet for about 20 minutes, by which time the tops will be cooked and cracked and the chocolate gooey underneath.
Place each ramekin on a small plate and serve.
