Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease indentations of madeleine mold pan. In medium saucepan, stir together flour, sugar, and salt. Combine melted butter and cocoa; stir into dry ingredients. In small bowl, lightly beat eggs, egg yolks and vanilla with fork until well blended; stir into chocolate mixture, blending well. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is warm; do not simmer or boil. Remove from heat. Fill each mold half full with batter (do not overfill).
