Step 1

Preheat over to 200 degrees Celsius. Butter the inside of 6 dariole molds or ramekins.

In a separate bowl, combine eggs, yolk and vanilla together, stirring until combined. Add to the chocolate mixture, stirring until well combined. Sift the flour over the chocolate mixture, stirring until well combined. Divide mixture between prepared molds, making sure each mold is no more than 2/3 fulls
