2 T. sugar
2 egg yolks, beaten
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Beat egg whites and cream of tartar at high speed until foamy. Gradually add 3 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Fold about one-fourth of beaten egg white into custard mixture; gently fold in remaining beaten egg white. Spoon 3/4 c. egg white mixture into each prepared soufflé dish.

Place soufflé dishes in 2 (9-inch_ square baking pans; pour hot water into pans to a depth of 1/2 inch. Bake at 350º for 25 minutes or until soufflés are puffed and golden. Remove dishes from water and serve immediately.
