  6. Stir in 2/3 cup plain flour.
  7. Fold in melted chocolate.
  8. Spoon mix into prepared ramekins.
  9. Place on a tray and cover. Refrigerate for 20 minutes or until you are ready to bake.
  10. Preheat oven to 180C.
  11. Remove puddings from the fridge and place straight into the oven on a tray.
  12. Cook puddings for 15 minutes exactly.
