Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs (separated)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Butter (for greasing)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Ensuring the oven is at the correct temperature is crucial for the soufflé to rise properly. - Grease ramekins with butter.
This will prevent the soufflé from sticking and allow it to rise evenly. - In a saucepan, heat milk and vanilla until warm.
The warmth will help integrate the flavors and mix smoothly with the yolk mixture. - In a bowl, whisk egg yolks, sugar, and flour until smooth. Slowly add the warm milk, mixing well.
This creates a custard-like base that is essential for the soufflé’s structure. - In another bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold into the yolk mixture.
The folding technique is crucial here to maintain the airiness of the egg whites, which give the soufflé its signature fluffiness. - Pour the mixture into prepared ramekins and bake for 15-20 minutes until puffed and golden.
The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven, so keep an eye on them as they turn golden. - Serve immediately and enjoy!
Soufflés are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven when they are at their fluffiest.
