   In a heavy pan, heat butter over low heat.

4. 4

   Remove from heat and add in chocolate, stirring till chocolate melts.

   You may have to put the pan back on the heat briefly, but watch which chocolate doesn't burn.

6. 6

   Let mix cold.

7. 7

   Beat Large eggs briefly, then add in sugar and beat very thoroughly, till batter is thick and turns paler yellow.
