  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup Gluten Free 1.1 flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

Instructions

  • Butter and flour 6 ramekins and set aside.
  • In a bowl add the sugar and eggs and beat until pale yellow and the sugar is slightly dissolved, approximately 5 minutes.
  • Create a double boiler. Bring a sauce pan with water to a low simmer and place a glass bowl over the top, careful that the water doesn't touch the bottom.

  • Add 1/4 cup of the chocolate mixture into the eggs, continually stirring.
  • While continually stirring add the rest of the chocolate to the egg mixture.

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 14-16 minutes. The top should be set with a divot in the center and the middle should be slightly jiggly when you move it.
  • Allow to cool for 3 minutes. Either serve directly from the ramekin or invert onto a plate. Enjoy!
