petits gâteaux au chocolat










a very simple classic french recipe, adapted:
100gr 70% best quality dark chocolate;
100gr butter;
100gr caster sugar;
50gr plain flour;
2 eggs.

Whisk the eggwhites until stiff.
In a bowl melt the chocolate and the butter. 
Mix the yolks with the sugar, until foamy and pale.
Add mix to slighlty cooled choc+butter, add flour.
Incorporate eggwhites step by step, taking care in not letting the air escape.
Pour on a small square 1/2 pint shape if you have or in 4 moulds as i have done.
Bake in a preheated moderate 180º oven for 25 mins.
You want the centre still moisten so pay attention from the 25th minute.
