For the Soufflé Dish:
2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
For the Soufflé Mixture:
1 1/3 cups whole milk, divided
7 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons lemon zest
4 large egg yolks
1 1/2 tablespoons butter, cold
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 large egg whites
For Garnishing:
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Fresh berries

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Butter a large soufflé dish and roll the granulated sugar throughout the dish, making sure to cover all the interior surfaces, especially the sides. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan set over low-medium heat, bring 1 cup of the milk to just steaming.
  • Stir together 5 tablespoons of the granulated sugar with the all-purpose flour, lemon zest, remaining 1/3 cup milk, and egg yolks until the mixture turns into a smooth batter.
  • Slowly whisk half of the hot milk into the batter, making sure to combine the ingredients well until they are completely smooth.
  • Add the tempered batter back into the hot milk in the pan and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly.
  • Stir and cook the mixture until it has thickened, or about 1 minute.
  • Stir the cold butter into the mixture and mix well. Allow it to cool at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • In a separate very clean bowl, beat the egg whites on medium-high speed until they become foamy and then add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar.
  • Continue beating the egg whites on high speed until they hold stiff glossy peaks.
  • Gently stir 1/3 of the egg whites into the vanilla mixture, then carefully fold in the remaining whipped egg whites.
  • The vanilla mixture should be evenly colored and light and bubbly, without egg white streaks or marbling.
  • Spoon the soufflé mixture into the prepared dish. Bake right away for 25 to 30 minutes, or slightly longer if at high altitude , until the soufflé has risen with a crusty exterior. If needed, cover it, and refrigerate it until ready for baking.
  • Serve the soufflé with a dusting of confectioners' sugar and a few berries, if desired.
  • Enjoy!

MEYER LEMON SOUFFLE



Meyer Lemon Souffle image

Provided by Amanda Hesser

Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 large eggs
3 Meyer lemons
5 1/2 tablespoons sugar, plus extra for coating the dish and sprinkling
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons flour
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus extra for coating the dish
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

Steps:

  • Separate eggs, placing 5 yolks in a small bowl, and 4 whites in the bowl of an electric mixer; discard the fifth white, or reserve for another purpose. Whisk yolks just until blended, then set aside. Set whites aside at room temperature, or refrigerate if the souffle is to be served later in the day. Rinse lemons with warm water, and grate and reserve the zest.
  • In a small, heavy saucepan, combine 1 1/2 tablespoons of the sugar and the flour. Gradually stir in the milk, mixing until smooth. Place pan over medium heat, and stir constantly until mixture has boiled for 1 minute. Remove pan from heat. While whisking vigorously, slowly add several tablespoons of the hot milk mixture to the egg yolks. Add yolk mixture to saucepan over medium heat, and whisk just until the mixture is smooth and thick, and light yellow in color, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Remove saucepan from heat. Add butter, and stir until it has melted. Stir in the reserved lemon zest, and set aside to cool. The mixture may be refrigerated at this point for up to 4 hours; bring to room temperature before baking.
  • Half an hour before serving, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a 1 1/2-quart souffle dish and coat it with sugar. Place the bowl of egg whites over a bowl of hot water, and stir gently until they are barely warmed. Using an electric mixer at medium speed, whisk egg whites until foamy. Add the cream of tartar, and increase speed to medium-high. Gradually add remaining 4 tablespoons of sugar, whisking until whites are moderately stiff but not dry; they should have smooth soft peaks with very fine bubbles.
  • Add about 1/4 cup of the beaten egg whites to the yolk mixture, to loosen and smooth the yolks. Gently fold the yolk mixture into the remaining egg whites, until barely mixed. Pour into the souffle dish, and smooth the top. With the tip of a table knife, draw a circle about an inch in from the side of the dish, and an inch deep into the souffle mixture. Squeeze 1 to 2 teaspoons of lemon juice from one lemon. Trail juice over top of souffle, and sprinkle juice lightly with sugar.
  • Bake souffle until it has puffed and is golden brown on top, about 20 minutes. If souffle is browning too quickly, reduce heat to 375 degrees. Serve immediately.

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.
