Comments

Recipe 1: Very flat but OK consistance. Rather low in sugar and chocolat. Multiply quantities by 2 next time.

Recipe 2: Used mostly oat flour and some rice flour, the result was a very powderish. Could be more aerial as was made without leavener.

Basic preparation

  1. Pre-heat the oven at 180C
  2. Mix the solids in a bowl
  3. If the recipe contains chocolate tabs and oil, heat both in a bain-marie
  4. Mix the two
  5. If the recipe contains a leavener, add that now
  6. Pour and bake for the indicated duration
