• 2 squares baking chocolate, melted
• 3 egg yolks
• 1 1/2 c. flour
• 1 T. baking powder

Preparation

Step 1

In large mixer bowl, cream butter and sugar at medium until fluffy. Add chocoate and egg yolks. Beat well. Add milk alternately with combined dry ingredients. Mix well. Add vanilla and nuts. By hand gently fold in egg whites. Pour 1/2 cup (or so) batter over grids. Bake 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Serve with ice cream, whip cream or chocolate syrup or any combination! I like it spread with my grandpa's chocolate icing.
