Ingredients

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180 °C. Melt butter and chocolate in a bowl over hot water, stirring occasionally, set aside to cool. Whisk sugar and yolks until creamy and pale. Add melted butter/chocolate to the creamed yolks, mix well, add flour and stir in. In a separate bowl stiffly whip the egg whites. Fold egg whites into chocolate mixture. Line a large baking tray with greaseproof paper and pour mixture on, spread out to about ½ cm even thickness. Bake for 15 minutes. Cut into small squares and set aside to cool.
