Chocolate Molten Cakes!

I love these! They are one of my favorites and very easy to make.

12 Tablespoons of milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips
(or 4 squares of milk or semi-sweet baking chocolate)
1/2 cup butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
6 Tablespoons flour

Preheat oven to 425 degrees (I only go to 375). Butter four 3/4 cup custard cups or soufflé dishes and place on cookie sheet (I use Crisco and 6 muffin cups in a 12 cup muffin tin).

Microwave chocolate and butter in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1 minute or until butter is melted. Stir with a wire whisk until chocolate is completely melted. Stir in powdered sugar until well blended. Add egg and egg yolk with wire whisk. Stir in flour. Divide among dishes.

Bake for 13-15 minutes (I go 15 or more) or until sides are firm but centers are soft. Let stand 1 minute. Carefully run a small knife around cakes to loosen. Invert cakes onto dessert dishes. Serve immediately. (I usually cook mine longer because of the reduced oven temperature and I like them a little more done than the recipe calls for. They are also good the next day.)
