Chocolate Ooze Cakes
Ingredients for 6 servings:

3 teaspoons of flour
1. Preheat oven to 450F.
2. Melt the butter and chocolate together over a bain marie.
3. Whisk the eggs, yolks and sugar until light yellow in color. this is called "blanchir" in French.
4. Combine the chocolate/butter mixture into the egg/sugar slowly.
5. Add the flour and combine.
6. Pour the mixture into the molds.
7. Bake in a 450F oven for 7-8 minutes, unmold and serve immediately.

Bon appetit!
