Meyer Lemon Soufflé image

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup whole milk
4 large eggs, separated, plus 2 additional large egg whites
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar plus additional for sprinkling
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated Meyer lemon or other lemon zest
1/3 cup fresh Meyer lemon or other lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
Special Equipment
a 7-inch soufflé dish (6-cup capacity; 3 inches deep); a 7-inch round plus a 32- by 8-inch strip of parchment paper or wax paper

Steps:

  • Bring milk just to a simmer in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart heavy saucepan, then remove from heat.
  • Beat together yolks, sugar, and vanilla in a medium bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until thick and pale, 3 to 6 minutes. Reduce speed to low and add cornstarch, mixing until incorporated. Add hot milk in a slow stream, mixing until smooth.
  • Transfer custard to same saucepan and bring to a boil, whisking constantly, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring constantly, 2 minutes. (Mixture will be thick.) Remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl, then whisk in zest and juice. Cover surface with round of parchment or wax paper and cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
  • Put oven rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Butter souffl dish, then sprinkle with sugar, turning to coat all sides and knocking out excess.
  • Beat egg whites with salt in another large bowl using cleaned beaters at medium-high speed until foamy. Add cream of tartar and increase speed to high, then beat until egg whites just hold stiff peaks.
  • Stir one fourth of whites into lemon custard to lighten, then fold in remaining whites gently but thoroughly. Pour mixture into prepared soufflé dish, then wrap paper strip tightly around outside of soufflé dish, forming a collar that extends at least 4 inches above rim. Tape overlapping ends together.
  • Bake soufflé until puffed and golden in spots, 35 to 45 minutes. Remove collar and serve soufflé mmediately.

This soufflé is not worth the effort. It's not impressive and it doesn't taste very good.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soufflé turned out rubbery. It was completely inedible.

This soufflé is very dense and heavy. It's not at all light and fluffy like a soufflé should be.

This soufflé is way too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe.

This soufflé was a disaster. It fell flat as soon as I took it out of the oven.

I was disappointed with this soufflé. It didn't rise as much as I expected, and the lemon flavor was too overpowering.
