125g of finely chopped best quality dark chocolate (containing 70% cocoa solids,
125g unsalted butter
3 large eggs
150g sugar
35g plain flour
butter and flour for preparing ramekins
Put the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water until melted.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar and flour until just blended. Gradually whisk in the melted chocolate and butter. Set aside to rest. Grease four 250ml ramekins with butter and add flour to cover the butter, tapping the ramekins to get rid of excess. Preheat the oven to gas mark 6/200°C. Pour the mixture into the ramekins and put them on a baking sheet in the oven for 10-12 minutes until the tops are firm and cracking slightly and the edges set. Serve immediately with a jug of very cold cream.
