Prepare Ramekins

Prepare the ramekins by applying butter inside or using a pastry brush to spread oil lightly and evenly. Add a spoonful of flour or cocoa, shake to coat evenly, and tap out the excess, ensuring no empty spots, especially at the edges. Place them on a baking sheet.

Bake the Batter

Divide the batter among the prepared ramekins, place them back on the baking sheet, and bake until the edges are puffy and set, but the middle remains unset. This usually takes about 10 minutes, but check around 8 minutes. Depending on your chocolate, it can take up to 12 minutes.
