Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 220 °C. Grease 4 ramekins with a small piece of the butter and dust them lightly with 1 tbsp of the flour.

  2. 2

    Break up the chocolate and melt it with the remaining butter in a small saucepan over very low heat, stirring constantly; let cool for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Whisk the eggs and sugar for 3-4 minutes until pale and foamy.

  4. 4

    Stir the melted chocolate and the milk into the egg mixture, then sift in the remaining flour and fold with a spatula until smooth.

  5. 5

    Fill the ramekins three-quarters full and bake at 220 °C for 9-11 minutes; the edges should be set and the centers still slightly wobbly.

  6. 6

    Let stand for 1 minute, run a knife around the edges and turn out onto plates. Serve immediately.
