- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

What to do
- Mix the chocolate and butter in a bowl. Microwave the mixture for one minute and Stir, then continue heating in 30-second bursts, stirring between bursts, until the mixture is melted and smooth. You can also melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler. Gently stir in the flour and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolks, vanilla, and the 1/2 cup of granulated sugar until thick and pale in colour. Gently fold in the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Divide the batter among the ramekins.
