Step-by-step Guide
Method
- Place the butter and chopped chocolate in a bain-marie until integrated. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Mix the whole eggs with the sugar using hand whisks until the sugar dissolves well. There is no need to whip the mixture.
- Add the eggs to the chocolate and stir with the hand whisks.
- Add the sifted flour and gently stir the batter, from the bottom up, with a hand spatula.
- Place baking paper on the base of the molds so that you can unmold the coulants.
- Grease the base and sides of the molds with butter and lightly dust them with sugar.
- Fill the molds to 3/4 full or a little more, as they will not rise much.
- Leave the molds in the freezer for a minimum of 3 hours before baking. They can be left until the next day.
- If you make them on the same day, you can prepare the coulants in ring molds; this way, you will not need to turn the coulant over to unmold it.
- To make them this way, transfer the batter to a piping bag and leave it in the refrigerator for 2 hours so that it thickens a little.
- Place the rings on baking paper and fill them.
- Leave the rings in the freezer for a minimum of two hours.
- Preheat the oven to 240ºC about 45 minutes before baking.
- Remove the molds from the freezer 7 minutes before baking.
- Bake them on the second rack from the bottom.
- Bake at 240ºC, with top and bottom heat, for 18 minutes.
- Let them cool slightly before unmolding.
