Method
- Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Butter 6 medium ramekins. Melt the chocolate with the butter in a bowl over simmering water or in a microwave. Beat the eggs with the sugar until they are very light and fluffy and then fold in the flour. Fold in the chocolate mixture.
- Divide between the ramekins (put in the fridge at this point if you’re making ahead). Bake for 8-12 minutes, the soufflés should rise and form a firm crust but you want then still to be slightly runny in the middle. Serve with cream.

Definitely need an electric mixer for this - I whisked by hand & gave up on the first batch of eggs+sugar. Instead I added the yolks to the chocolate mixture & whisked the whites on there own, then added sugar gradually once I got soft peaks. Very rich recipe, although I guess that depends on the chocolate you add, I'd half fill the ramekins next time (I used the glass Gu ones). Overall, disappointing.
