Moelleux au Chocolat

Directions

  Butter 6 ramekins and line with a disk of parchment paper, and then butter the parchment.

  In a double boiler, bowl or saucepan, very gently melt the butter and chocolate together over a water bath.

• 3)

  In a separate mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until thick, pale, and ribbony. Beat in the flour, and finally the chocolate mixture.

  Just before serving, preheat the oven to 400°F.

  Place the ramekins on a baking sheet, and bake until the top is set, 12 to 14 minutes. Do not overbake!
