Equipment

  • ramekin

Ingredients

  • 1 oz semi-sweet chocolate
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 1/3 tbsp powdered sugar use 1 tsp for the 1/3 tbsp
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 tbsp flour
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 390°F.
  • Melt chocolate and butter together either in a double boiler or a microwave safe bowl. If you opt for the microwave, melt the chocolate in 20 second intervals and stir after each one until it is smooth.
  • Once the above mixture is melted, add the powdered sugar.
  • Separate the egg, putting the egg white in one bowl and the yolk in another. Beat the egg white, then add half to the yolk. Discard the other half.
  • Add the egg to the chocolate mixture. Once smooth, add flour and salt and whisk until well combined.
  • Pour batter into ramekins (I use 4-6 oz ramekins) and bake for 12 minutes. The edges will be set, but the center should jiggle. Cool for a minute and serve with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
