Gooey Chocolate Puddings
Recipe courtesy Nigella Lawson

Ingredients
4 1/2 ounces best-quality bittersweet chocolate,
finely chopped
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
3 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup Italian 00 or all-purpose flour

Directions
Before you've even taken your coat off, put the
chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler above simmering water. Whisk
every now and again until melted. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and

flour until just blended. Gradually whisk in the melted chocolate mixture. Set
aside.

Grease 4 (1-cup) ramekins with butter and add flour to cover the butter, tapping
the ramekins to get rid of excess. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F about half
an hour before you want to eat the puddings. And I'd leave cooking them until
you've finished the main course. It doesn't matter if there's no food on the
table for 10 minutes; and these do have to be done at the last minute.

So, pour the mixture into the ramekins and put them on a baking sheet in the oven
for 10 to 12 minutes, until the tops are firm and cracking slightly and the edges
set. Serve immediately and consider providing a pitcher of cold, cold cream for
people to pour into their pudding's hotly deliquescing interior as they
eat.
