【Lemon Soufflé】
by MaomaoMom
Lemon soufflé is light and it is not that hard to make. We have stopped using milk a few years ago, and we now drinking Almond milk, I made these soufflé using almond milk, they also taste great.
Prepare time: 40 minutes
Cook time: 14 minutes
Level: Medium
Serves: 4-5 servings
Ingredients:
1: 1 tbsp butter, 1.5 tbsp sugar;
2: 1 lemon, 1tbs icing sugar;
3: ½ cup almond milk (120g) or milk;
4: 2 extra large egg yolk, 1tbs sugar (14g), 1tsp tsp vanilla extract , 2.5 tbsp flour (21g),
5: 3 extra large egg whites, 1/3 tsp white vinegar (or 1/4 tsp cream of tartar ), 2tbs sugar (28g);
6: 1.5 tbsp icing sugar;
Others: 4-5 8-ounce ramekins.
Directions:
1: Melt 1 tbsp butter in a microwave oven and brush 4-5 8-ounce ramekins with the melted butter (Picture 1). Dust with 1.5 tbsp fine sugar, rolling it around and coat the sides and shaking out (Picture 2) excess into the next butter brushed ramekin. Place the ramekins in the fridge.
2: Wash lemon with cold water and pat dry with kitchen paper towel and grate the yellow out skin of the lemon (Picture 4), but be careful not to grate the white pith underneath (the pith will make the soufflés bitter). Cut the lemons in half and squeeze the juice to the bowl about 3 tbsp. Add 1 tbsp icing sugar to the lemon juice, mix and set aside (Picture 4).
3: Bring the almond milk to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat (Picture 5). Remove from the heat. Whisk the egg yolks, vanilla, and 1tbs sugar (Picture 6) in a medium bowl, add 2.5 tbsp flour (Picture 7) and mix well. Whisk ¼ amount hot almond milk into the egg yolk mixture until blended (Picture 8). Repeat with the rest hot almond milk (Picture 9).
4: Pour the almond milk and egg yolk mixture back to the saucepan , on medium heat, stir constantly until thickened (Picture 10) (about 1.5 minutes) and remove the custard from the heat. Whisk in lemon zest, juice and icing sugar mixture (Picture 11) until smooth.
5: Preheat oven to 400F/205C. Place egg whites in a bowl (make sure your bowl and mixer are clean and dry ), add 1/3 tsp white vinegar to the egg whites and beat with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form (Picture 12). Then add 2 tbsp sugar and beat until stiff (Picture 13).
6: Add 1/3 of the beaten egg white into the yolk and milk mixture (Picture 14) and mix well. Then pour it back to the remaining 2/3 beaten egg whites. Gently fold with a spatula to mix until just blended (Picture 15), don’t overdo it or you will deflate the egg whites. See my chiffon cake video on folding techniques.
7: Pour batter into ramekins to just below the rim (Picture 16), smooth the tops with a knife. Place them on a baking sheet and put them in the oven. Reduce the oven to 375F/190C, bake for 14-16 minutes. It should still be wobbly when you take it out of the oven. Sprinkle with icing sugar and serve immediately.
Hello there, I found your website via Google while searching for a related topic, your website came up, it looks great. I’ve bookmarked it in my google bookmarks.
Thank you for the sensible critique. Me and my neighbor were just preparing to do a little research about this. We got a grab a book from our local library but I think I learned more clear from this post. I am very glad to see such magnificent information being shared freely out there.
Throughout the awesome scheme of things you’ll get an A with regard to effort and hard work. Where you actually misplaced me was first in all the particulars. As they say, the devil is in the details… And it could not be more accurate at this point. Having said that, permit me tell you precisely what did give good results. Your article (parts of it) is rather engaging and that is possibly why I am making the effort to comment. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, whilst I can easily notice the jumps in reasoning you make, I am not confident of how you appear to unite your points which produce the actual final result. For the moment I shall yield to your issue however trust in the near future you link your facts much better.
certainly like your web site however you need to take a look at the spelling on several of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling issues and I in finding it very bothersome to inform the reality then again I will certainly come back again.
