* 2 tbsp cocoa powder
* 1/4 tsp baking powder
* 1/4 cup milk
* Pinch of salt
Instructions:
1. Melt butter in a small pan over low heat.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, milk, and salt.

4. Divide batter evenly into 4 ramekins.

Trangia Tips:
* Plan your menu carefully: Consider ingredients that cook quickly and easily on a Trangia.
* Pack efficiently: Use reusable containers to minimize waste and save space.
* Bring extra fuel: You might need more than you anticipate.
* Use the Trangia pan for multiple purposes: Toasting bread, sautéing vegetables, and even making sauces can be done on the same pan.
* Don't be afraid to experiment: Get creative with your cooking and adapt recipes to fit your Trangia setup.
Additional Considerations:
* Weather: Adjust cooking times and fuel usage based on temperature and wind.
* Water: Always bring enough clean water for drinking and cooking.
* Hygiene: Clean your cookware thoroughly after each use.
Enjoy your delicious and adventurous three-course meal on your Trangia!
