This recipe was adapted from the website Vaqueiro.


Necessary Equipment:

Two pots, one small and another one a bit larger. This will be used to melt the chocolate.

Forms for the muffins, preferably non-adherent. you can use aluminium, but you will have to isolate with butter and flower. The forms i used have 7cm / 2,8 inches in diameter and 2,5cm / 1 inch in hight.

Electrical mixer (you can also mix by hand, but it takes much longer).

Oven that can get at 200ºC / 392º F.


Notes:

In order to melt the chocolate, do this, put some water in the biggest pot, break the chocolate and put it inside the smaller pot. Then, heat up the largest pot with the smaller pot placed inside. The water will boil maintaining a constant temperature that will heat up the smaller pot, melting the chocolate without burning it!


Ingredients:

100 grams / 3.52oz of dark chocolate (i recommend Nestlé Chocolate).

60 grams / 2.11oz of margarine (vegetal butter)

3 eggs

100 grams / 3.52oz of sugar

35 grams / 1.23oz of flower with baking powder.

Optional - Grated or chocolate drops.


Preparation

Completely melt the chocolate with the margarine.

While it melts, mix the eggs, the flower and the sugar with the mixer and join the chocolate when it is completely melted. Mix until you get a chocolate collared moisture.

At this time, you can add the grated or the chocolate drops.



Pre-heat the oven at 200ºC / 392º F.


Put the moister in the forms. Don't fill them completely! Leave at least 1/4 of the form empty, the muffins will grow!

When the oven is at 200ºC / 392º F, take the forms to the oven for about 20 minutes. After that, stick them with a tooth-pick in order to see if they are cooked from within. If the muffin doesn't grab to the tooth-pick, it means they are ready! If not, leave them for another 2 minutes and the repeat the process.


This recipe is extremely simple and delicous!
