Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 30 grams unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, for coating the ramekins
- 240 milliliters whole milk
- 30 grams all-purpose flour
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 3 pieces large egg yolks
- 3 pieces large egg whites
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease four small ramekins with butter, ensuring even coverage. Sprinkle a thin layer of granulated sugar inside each ramekin, coating thoroughly. Tap out any excess sugar and set the ramekins aside.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour to create a roux, cooking for about 1-2 minutes, until it forms a smooth paste but does not brown.
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook and stir constantly until the mixture thickens into a smooth cream-like consistency. Remove from heat and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.
Whisk in the sugar, vanilla extract, and egg yolks into the roux mixture until well combined. Set aside.
In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat.
Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture in thirds, using a spatula. Be sure to fold gently to maintain as much air as possible.
Evenly distribute the mixture into the prepared ramekins, filling each about ¾ of the way. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the souffles are puffed and golden on top. Avoid opening the oven during baking to prevent them from collapsing.
Remove the souffles from the oven and dust with powdered sugar. Serve immediately to enjoy them at their peak height and texture.
