Place eight 6 oz. ramekins in a shallow baking pan; set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a small saucepan, stir together 1/3 c. of the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, flour & salt. Gradually stir in milk. Cook & stir over med-high heat until thickened & bubbly. Reduce heat; cook & stir for 1 min more. Remove from heat. Slightly beat egg yolks. Slowly add chocolate mixture to egg yolks, stirring constantly. In a large bowl, combine egg whites, vanilla & cream of tartar. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar, beating on high speed until stiff peaks form. Stir about ¼ of the egg whites into chocolate to lighten. Gently fold chocolate mixture into egg white mixture. Spoon into ramekins.
