Fondant au chocolat

This is a recipe given to us by a lovely French woman, Isobel. It is absolutely delicious, easy to make, but definately not one for vegans.

160g dark chocolate (you can substitute this for what ever you have in the cupboard – we tried it with half dark chocolate and half milk chocolate with nuts in it and it was fantastic)

190g butter

150g sugar

100g flour

6 eggs

Heat the oven to 220 degrees c.

Melt the chocolate with the butter

Mix the sugar and the flour then mix in the eggs, two at a time.

Then mix the chocolate/butter mixture into the sugar/egg/flour mixture.

Pour the mixture into moulds (you can use indvidual muffin moulds or a large cake tin)

Humpbuckle Hint: If you are feeling really naughty stick a chunk of chocolate into the middle of the mixture (experiment with your favourite chocolate).

Cook on the top shelf for 7 minutes (it really only takes 7 minutes so pay attention!)
