Serves 4

1 cup chocolate chips
1 stick of butter
2 eggs
3 tablespoons flour
¾ cup powdered sugar

(cut ingredients in half to serve 2)

Heat oven to 400 degrees

Butter the inside of 4 2/3-cup ramekins (or 3 larger individual-sized ramekins)

Melt stick of butter with chocolate using double-boiler method or simply put in the pre-heated oven in oven-safe bowl for a few minutes.

Mix flour, sugar and egg

Fold melted chocolate and butter mixture in with egg/flour mixture. Stir well and pour into ramekins.

Bake for 14-18 minutes until tops are cracked and shiny but inside is still gooey. The longer they are cooked, the less gooey the inside becomes.

Serve on plate with scoop of vanilla or coffee flavored ice cream. Add white chocolate chips to batter if desired.
