LEMON SOUFFLé

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter an 8-cup soufflé dish and dust the bottom and sides with 2 tablespoons of the granulated sugar, shaking out excess.
• Heat the milk to boiling in a heavy saucepan. Remove from heat. Whisk the egg yolks, vanilla and 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar until well blended, then whisk in the flour. Whisk in the hot milk in a thin, steady stream and blend until smooth. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is very thick, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Mix the lemon rind, lemon juice and 1 tablespoon powdered sugar in a cup and whisk into the egg yolk mixture. (At this point, the soufflé base can be refrigerated, covered with plastic wrap directly on its surface, for up to a day.) If the soufflé base is still warm, whisk briefly until smooth. Otherwise, place over low heat, whisk until just warm, and remove from heat.
• Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Sprinkle in the remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and beat until stiff and shiny. Fold 1/4 of the whites into the soufflé base. Gently fold in the rest, being careful not to deflate mixture. A few white streaks may remain.
• Turn the mixture into the prepared dish and place on the center rack in the oven. Immediately reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees. Bake until soufflé is puffed and brown, about 20 to 25 minutes. (It should still wobble a bit.) Sprinkle powdered sugar over the top and serve immediately with lightly whipped cream or very cold créme anglaise.

LEMON SOUFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsuis). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Slice the stem ends from the lemons so they can sit level. Cut off the tip end of each lemon, parallel with the bottom and roughly ⅓ of the way down. Reserve the tops.
• Hold each lemon firmly and use a serrated knife to cut out the pulp. Use a melon baller to scoop out the flesh into a sieve placed over a bowl. Squeeze the juice from the pulp and reserve for later. Place the hollowed-out lemons on the sheet pan.
• In a heat-proof bowl, combine the egg yolks, ¼ cup sugar, ¼ cup reserved lemon juice, lemon zest and flour. Whisk until pale yellow. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water and continue to whisk for about 8 minutes, until very thick. Remove from the heat and beat with an electric mixer for about 10 minutes, until cooled, while scraping down the sides. Transfer to a clean bowl and set aside.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine the egg whites with the remaining ¼ cup sugar. Beat with the electric mixer on low speed until frothy. Slowly increase the mixer speed until the meringue is shiny and hold soft peaks, about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Whisk about ⅓ of the meringue into the yolk mixture, then fold in the remaining meringue gently. Fill the lemon shells to just below the rim.
• Bake for approximately 14 to 16 minutes, until the tops are golden and have risen about 1 inch above the shell.
• Serve immediately, garnished with confectioners' sugar and the reserved lemon tops.

LEMON SOUFFLé

Steps:

• Butter a 2-quart soufflé or other deep baking dish. Sprinkle the dish with sugar, invert it, and tap to remove excess sugar. Set aside and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Whisk the egg yolks with 3/4 cup of the sugar until light and very thick; the mixture will fall in a ribbon from the ends of the beaters when it is ready. Beat in the flavorings and set aside.
• Beat the egg whites with the salt until they hold soft peaks; continue to beat, gradually adding the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, until they are very stiff but still glossy. Stir a good spoonful of them thoroughly into the egg yolk mixture to lighten it, then fold in the remaining whites, using a rubber spatula or your hand. Transfer to the prepared soufflé dish(es) and bake until the center is nearly set, 25 to 35 minutes (15 to 25 minutes for individual soufflés). Serve immediately.
