Ingredients
- 4 large eggs (separated into whites and yolks)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease 4 ramekins with butter and dust with sugar.
- Make the base: In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour, then gradually whisk in the milk. Cook while stirring for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let it cool slightly.
- Beat egg yolks: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with sugar until pale and creamy. Slowly add the yolk mixture to the cooled milk base, stirring well.
- Whip egg whites: In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
- Combine: Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture in small batches, being careful not to deflate the whites.
- Bake: Spoon the soufflé mixture into the prepared ramekins, filling them up to the top. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden and puffed.
- Serve immediately: Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- Make sure the egg whites are fully whipped to stiff peaks for the best rise.
- For an extra twist, you can add a few drops of almond extract to the base mixture.
- Serve immediately, as soufflés tend to deflate quickly once out of the oven.
