Instructions

Melt the Chocolate and Butter
In a heatproof bowl over a pan of hot (not boiling) water, melt the butter and chocolate together. -

Gently fold the chocolate-butter mixture into the egg mixture. Fold in the flour as lightly as possible. -
Divide and Bake
Divide the batter among the baking tins. Bake the moelleux in the oven for about 9 minutes. -
