Make a sweet soufflé

How to make a sweet soufflé

STEPS

 

1. Use a pastry brush to line the inside of the soufflé moulds with melted butter, then lightly coat with caster sugar

 

2. Set the moulds aside in the fridge

 

3. To make your soufflé base, place a saucepan above a low to medium heat. Add butter to the pan, and allow the butter to melt

 

4. Mix the sifted flour into the pan and cook for 1 minute, stirring well

 

5. Remove from the heat, and gradually add the milk until fully incorporated

 

6. Once incorporated, place the pan back on the heat and add the sugar and vanilla. Continue to stir as the mixture cooks and starts to thicken. You are looking for a consistency to the batter similar to Greek yoghurt

 

7. Once at the desired consistency, turn off the heat and leave the batter to cool

 

8. While the mixture cools, separate your eggs. Set aside the yolks and whisk the whites to stiff peaks

 

9. Gradually add caster sugar to the whisked egg whites, beating for 15 seconds between each addition

 

10. Into the soufflé base mix, stir in the egg yolks. Once incorporated, pour the soufflé base into a larger bowl

 

11. Add one spoonful of the egg white mixture to the soufflé base and combine well

 

12. Gently fold in the rest of the egg whites

 

13. Once the egg whites have been folded into the batter, spoon the batter into the prepared soufflé moulds

 

14. Run the tip of a cutlery knife around the edge of the mixture in the moulds to create a groove

 

15. The soufflés are now ready to bake in the oven at the recipe's recommended temperature
