• 12 oz chocolate, roughly chopped (not chips), we like dark (about 2 cups)

Preheat:

• oven to 375, adjusting rack to middle position.  

Butter:

• 10" cast iron skillet.  

Combine:

• butter, sugars, malted milk powder, vanilla, salt, baking powder, baking soda and nutmeg in stand mixer with paddle attachment.  Mix on low to moisten, then increase to medium, and beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.  With mixer running, add egg, and beat until smooth.  

Reduce:

• mixer to low and add flour, all at once, followed by chocolate.  Mix to make stiff dough.

Press:

• dough into skillet to form even layer.  Bake for 25 minutes, or until puffed, and golden along sides.  

Cool:
