3️⃣ Whisk the yolks with half the sugar, stir into the chocolate and add the flour.
4️⃣ Whisk the whites with the remaining sugar to stiff, glossy peaks.
5️⃣ Fold the whites into the chocolate mixture in batches, gently.
6️⃣ Fill the ramekins to the rim and bake for 10–12 minutes. Serve immediately.
