Anyone know what I've done wrong here..
One bowl egg yolks.. corn flour.. electric mixed for a few mins until thick.
One bowl melted dark chocolate and butter.
Took the melted chocolate off the heat for a few minutes.. then added the eggs/flour with a wooden spoon. Almost immediately the chocolate bound itself together and I was left with a clumpy mess. No liquid at all. Just a chocolate paste consistency. What I SHOULD have had was just melted chocolate that eventually becomes shiny.
What went wrong? I've read that if any water gets in it's all over.. my wooden spoon was washed a few hours earlier. Possibly still wet? It was quite a dramatic failure. I had to throw it away.
