Souffle Fest

This week in class we went Souffle crazy. We made every type of souffle imaginable: chocolate, pistacio, raspberry, cranberry, flourless, flour-based, passionfruit, walnut, praline, and carmel pear. After consuming way too many souffles I decided that I like the good old chocolate flour-based souffle the best...I also decided that I need to stop eating so many souffles and go on a diet.







Tips for Making the Perfect Soufflé
-Add a few drops of fresh lemon juice to egg whites before you beat them for extra volume.

-The butter used for coating ramekin should be at room temperature.

-Be generous when coating the ramekin with butter and sugar

-When using an electric mixer to beat egg whites, set it on medium-low speed (not high speed) to build more volume.
