Preparation method

Melt the chocolate with butter in a bowl over a bain-marie and let it cool slightly. Blend the sugar with lemon balm leaves. Put into a bowl, add eggs and whisk until a light foam forms.

The eggs must not be cold, otherwise the chocolate and butter mixture will start to curdle in them. Whisk in the chocolate with butter. Finally, gently fold in the flour with a spatula.

Grease the baking dishes with butter. You can line the sides with baking paper. Divide the mixture among them so that it reaches approximately 1 cm below the rim of the dish.
