Fondants au chocolat

on



I'm posting this easy recipe not because I think anyone needs it, you can find similar ones on the net, but because I need to find this recipe easily, ha!  These fondants are truly so good.  I shouldn't give away this recipe because my friends come especially to our house when I tell them I made these (it's the sea salt and almond extract), but I'll find another reason for them to come by.

Batter recipe :

100 g softened butter
150 g baker's chocolate
100 g sugar
2 eggs
30 g flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon sea-salt (fleur de sel)

Melt chocolate and butter in a saucepan.  Allow to cool  to room temperature.  Preheat oven to 200° C / 390° F. In a bowl, mix sugar and eggs until you get a creamy light yellow texture.  Add melted chocolate mixture, then fold in flour, extracts and salt and mix until you get a uniform batter.  Spoon or ladle into ramequins or non-stick cupcake molds.  Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the center starts to rise (remove from oven once the sides are cooked but are still a bit jiggly in the middle).  Allow to cool before serving.  You can powder with confectioners sugar, but they are also perfect just like that. Enjoy, everyone !
