    Ingredients

    Serves:

      • 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
      • 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into chunks, plus 2 to 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
      • 2 large eggs
      • 2 large egg yolks
      • 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons sugar
      • 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour

    Directions

    Melt the chocolate and the 8 tablespoons butter in the top of a double boiler or in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from the heat.

    Whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and sugar in a large bowl until well mixed. Whisk in the melted chocolate and butter. Sift the flour over the top and fold it in.

    Melt 1 tablespoon butter over low heat in a large nonstick sauté pan. Drop a heaping tablespoon of batter into the pan and cook for 2 minutes, then turn and cook on the other side. Transfer the pancake to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as necessary.

    I just made these and they were delicious! Moist with just the right amount of chocolate. I didn't have raspberries so I substituted fresh peaches cubed up for the fruit topping.

    They were very tasty with the whipped cream.

    Overall good a tad dry. Perhaps add a more juicy sauce versus the whipped cream.
