Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Main Dish Recipes     Souffle

Number Of Ingredients 6

Granulated sugar
1/2 cup superfine sugar
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
4 egg whites, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons grated lime zest

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 1-quart souffle dish with nonstick cooking spray and dust generously with granulated sugar. Place the souffle dish in the freezer to chill.
  • Stir 1/4 cup of the superfine sugar with the lime juice in a small bowl until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside. Using very clean, dry beaters, beat the egg whites by hand or with an electric mixer until foamy. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of superfine sugar and the salt while beating. Continue beating until the whites hold a soft peak. Gently fold in the lime juice mixture and the zest.
  • Spoon the souffle mixture into the chilled souffle dish. Wipe the rim with your fingers or a damp cloth to ensure proper rising. Put the dish on a baking sheet and place in the oven immediately. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes, until the souffle is well risen and lightly browned on top. Serve and eat immediately.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Vegetarian Recipes

Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more, room temperature, for dishes
1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus more for dishes
8 large egg yolks plus 10 large egg whites, room temperature
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons), plus 2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest
1 cup whole milk
Garnish: confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter six 12-ounce souffle dishes, and then dust with granulated sugar. Whisk together yolks, flour, zest, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
  • Bring milk to a boil in a small saucepan. Slowly pour milk into yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent yolks from cooking. Return mixture to pan, and whisk until thick like a pudding, 1 to 2 minutes. Strain through a sieve, and whisk in butter and lemon juice.
  • Beat whites until foamy. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and beat until stiff peaks form. Stir a third of the whites into the yolk mixture. Gently fold in the remaining whites using a rubber spatula.
  • Fill each souffle dish to the top, and smooth. Run your thumb around edges to remove batter from rims.
  • Bake on a rimmed baking sheet until souffles rise and are golden, about 16 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar, and serve immediately, before souffles lose their height.

LEMON SOUFFLé



Lemon Soufflé image

This soufflé, adapted from Mark Bittman's famous tome, "How to Cook Everything," is rich, fluffy and very easy. You can also make orange or Grand Marnier variations. If you want to make individual soufflés, use a little more butter and grease four 1 1/2- to 2-cup ramekins.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, lunch, custards and puddings, dessert

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

About 1 teaspoon unsalted butter for the dish
1 cup sugar, plus some for the dish
6 eggs, separated
1 tablespoon minced or grated lemon or orange zest
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon or orange juice or Grand Marnier or other orange-flavored liqueur
Pinch salt

Steps:

  • Butter a 2-quart soufflé or other deep baking dish. Sprinkle the dish with sugar, invert it, and tap to remove excess sugar. Set aside and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Whisk the egg yolks with 3/4 cup of the sugar until light and very thick; the mixture will fall in a ribbon from the ends of the beaters when it is ready. Beat in the flavorings and set aside.
  • Beat the egg whites with the salt until they hold soft peaks; continue to beat, gradually adding the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, until they are very stiff but still glossy. Stir a good spoonful of them thoroughly into the egg yolk mixture to lighten it, then fold in the remaining whites, using a rubber spatula or your hand. Transfer to the prepared soufflé dish(es) and bake until the center is nearly set, 25 to 35 minutes (15 to 25 minutes for individual soufflés). Serve immediately.

Vegetable oil
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
3 large eggs, separated
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole milk
6 tablespoons sugar, divided
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel
Caramel Sauce

Steps:

  • Lightly oil six 3/4-cup soufflé dishes or custard cups; set aside. Pour 1/4 cup water into small bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over; let stand until gelatin softens, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk egg yolks and cornstarch in medium bowl until smooth. Combine milk and 3 tablespoons sugar in heavy medium saucepan; stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to simmer. Gradually whisk 1/3 of hot milk mixture into yolk mixture. Pour mixture back into remaining milk mixture in saucepan. Whisk constantly over medium-high heat until mixture boils and thickens, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and whisk 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat; whisk in lemon juice and lemon peel. Add gelatin mixture; stir until gelatin dissolves.
  • Whisk egg whites and remaining 3 tablespoons sugar in medium bowl to blend. Set bowl over saucepan of simmering water (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water); whisk constantly until instant-read thermometer inserted into mixture registers 140°F, about 2 minutes. Transfer egg white mixture to large bowl of stand mixer and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold egg white mixture into warm lemon custard in 3 additions. Transfer mixture to medium bowl; let stand 10 minutes to cool slightly.
  • Divide lemon custard among prepared soufflé dishes; level off tops with back of knife. Refrigerate soufflés uncovered overnight. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated.).
  • Run small knife around soufflés to loosen. Place small plate atop 1 soufflé and invert. Using both hands, hold plate and soufflé dish tightly together and shake gently, allowing soufflé to settle on plate (if soufflé does not release from dish, place bottom of soufflé dish in 1 inch of warm water for 20 seconds).

Categories     Dessert

Time 59m

Yield 2 4, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 large lemons
3 eggs, separated
1/2 cup sugar, divided
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsuis). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Slice the stem ends from the lemons so they can sit level. Cut off the tip end of each lemon, parallel with the bottom and roughly ⅓ of the way down. Reserve the tops.
  • Hold each lemon firmly and use a serrated knife to cut out the pulp. Use a melon baller to scoop out the flesh into a sieve placed over a bowl. Squeeze the juice from the pulp and reserve for later. Place the hollowed-out lemons on the sheet pan.
  • In a heat-proof bowl, combine the egg yolks, ¼ cup sugar, ¼ cup reserved lemon juice, lemon zest and flour. Whisk until pale yellow. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water and continue to whisk for about 8 minutes, until very thick. Remove from the heat and beat with an electric mixer for about 10 minutes, until cooled, while scraping down the sides. Transfer to a clean bowl and set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the egg whites with the remaining ¼ cup sugar. Beat with the electric mixer on low speed until frothy. Slowly increase the mixer speed until the meringue is shiny and hold soft peaks, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Whisk about ⅓ of the meringue into the yolk mixture, then fold in the remaining meringue gently. Fill the lemon shells to just below the rim.
  • Bake for approximately 14 to 16 minutes, until the tops are golden and have risen about 1 inch above the shell.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with confectioners' sugar and the reserved lemon tops.

Provided by Ms B.

Categories     Pie

Time 1h35m

Yield 1 10inch tart

Number Of Ingredients 20

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 lemon, zest of, grated
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
6 tablespoons almond flour
1 pinch salt
10 tablespoons sugar
4 large eggs, separated
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
confectioners' sugar, for dusting
3 large eggs
3 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup freshly grated lemon zest (2 to 3 lemons)
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (3 to 4 lemons)
1 pinch salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Lemon Curd (makes 2 cups, only use 1 1/2 cups).
  • In a large heatproof bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and sugar.
  • Whisk in the lemon zest, juice, and salt.
  • Place the bowl over a pot of barely simmering water, and gently cook the curd, whisking constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs, until curd thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes (or you can cook over direct heat if you are sufficiently skilled).
  • Remove the bowl from the heat, and whisk in the butter.
  • Strain the mixture through a fine sieve, and set the bowl in a large bowl filled with water and ice.
  • Whisk until cool.
  • Cover the curd, and refrigerate until it is thoroughly cold, at least 2 hours.
  • The curd will keep for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
  • Almond Crust.
  • To make the crust: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and confectioners' sugar until combined, about 1 minute.
  • Beat in the egg and zest.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and salt.
  • Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in two batches, scraping down the sides of the bowl between additions.
  • Mix until dough is smooth.
  • Scrape dough onto a piece of plastic wrap, and form it into a disk.
  • Chill for at least 1 hour and up to 3 days.
  • Make the tart.
  • Preheat the oven to 325°.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out to a 14-inch round about 1/8 inch thick.
  • Fit the dough into a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
  • Trim away any excess dough, and use a fork to prick the crust all over.
  • Bake the tart crust until pale golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  • (The tart shell can be made 8 hours ahead.) Increase oven temperature to 375°.
  • To prepare the filling: In the detached bowl of an electric mixer, whisk together 5 tablespoons sugar, egg yolks, flour, lemon juice, and lime juice.
  • Place the bowl over a pot of gently simmering water, and whisk the mixture constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs.
  • Continue whisking until mixture gets quite thick, about 8 minutes.
  • Strain through a fine sieve into the bowl of an electric mixer, if necessary.
  • Using the whisk attachment, beat the lemon cream on high speed until thick, cool, and light, about 5 minutes.
  • In a clean bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites until they hold soft peaks.
  • Slowly add the remaining 5 tablespoons of sugar, and beat until stiff peaks form, taking care not to overbeat the whites.
  • Fold a third of the meringue into the lemon cream to lighten it, then fold in the remaining meringue in two batches.
  • Spread the lemon curd in an even layer into the bottom of the crust.
  • Spoon the soufflé topping onto the lemon curd, mounding it attractively.
  • Bake the tart until the soufflé is golden brown and spongy, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Dust the top with confectioners' sugar, and serve warm.
