Method
step 1
Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line two large baking trays with baking parchment. Melt the butter and chocolate together in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, then set aside to cool slightly. (Or, do this in short bursts in the microwave.) Beat the egg, egg whites and sugar together in a large bowl for 2-3 mins using an electric whisk until pale and thickened, then beat in the cooled chocolate mixture. Sift over the cocoa powder and fold in gently.
step 2
Spoon tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared trays, spaced well apart (they will spread). Bake for 8-10 mins until set at the edge. Leave to cool completely on the baking trays. Will keep in an airtight container for up to five days.
