Ingredients

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

  • Heat-treat your flour in one of two ways:
    Microwave method: Add flour to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir a couple of times. Repeat two more times for a total of 90 seconds.
    Oven method: Preheat oven to 300°F. Spread the flour out on a baking sheet and bake on the bottom rack for 5 minutes.
    Then, set it aside to cool.

  • Melt the butter in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring in between until liquefied, or in a saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently.
    3 tablespoons unsalted butter
    Melted butter in a small ramekin
  • To a medium mixing bowl, add the melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract and whisk to combine.
    ½ cup granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
    Melted butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract whisked together
  • Add the heat-treated flour, cocoa powder, and salt and whisk. At this point, your batter will be crumbly.

  • Continue to whisk as you slowly add the milk (or coffee), assessing the consistency as you go. I like my batter on the thicker side, so I don't always use all 3 tablespoons. Continue to add milk to loosen it until you are satisfied with the texture.

  • Use a spatula to scrape the side of the bowl, ensuring all of the dry ingredients are fully integrated. Then, fold in your chocolate chips.

Notes

  • If you want to really bring out the most of your chocolate flavor, use coffee! You may detect a hint of coffee, but mostly it'll just enhance the chocolate. Otherwise, you can use milk.
