How to Make a Souffl�
Recipe
Souffl� is a noun that comes from the French verb meaning "to blow up." A souffl� is made up of two parts: the base and beaten egg whites.
The beaten egg whites are gently folded into the base using a rubber spatula; this step gives this delicate dish its volume. Most souffl�s may be prepared up to 2 hours prior to baking.
Tips for the Perfect Souffl�
Add a few drops of fresh lemon juice to egg whites before you beat them for extra volume.
The butter used for coating the insides of the ramekins, or souffl� dishes, should be warm, but not melted. Use a pastry brush for an even, clean coat.
The base of the souffl� should be warm when folding in the egg whites.
When using an electric mixer to beat egg whites, set it on medium-low speed (not high speed) to build more volume.
