Souffle recipes
What is Souffle?
According to "
Pastry Chef's Companion":
The name derives from the French
souffle, which means "to inflate".
A French dessert made with whipped egg whites folded into a base of sugar, flour or cornstarch, scalded milk, and egg yolks.
The mixture may be flavored with vanilla, chocolate, liqueurs, fruit purees, and/or spices and is baked in a souffle dish or ramekin that has been buttered and sugared to help the souffle rise evenly and create a delicate crust on the sides.
The high heat of the oven causes the air trapped in the whipped egg whites to rise; it is served directly from the oven because it begins to fall as it begins to fall as it cools.
A well-made souffle will double its size over the top of the baking dish and have a creamy, airy with a complementary sauce, such as creme anglaise.
