How to make a French Souffle - Puff up is just Simple


A Classic French dessert- Soufflé, surely one of life's greatest treats, and possibly the most impressive dessert you’ve ever made. Some called it the king of egg dishes. Imagine when it emerges from the oven puffed up like a pillow with a golden surface and soft, yielding middle.......

The magic puff up only last for 1-2 minutes, timing is all a matter. Rumours around about how tricky it is to master, but the real secret of soufflé-making is it's not that hard. Trust me, its simple and Follow the recipe, you will get the same sweet results.
The word soufflé is the past participle of the French verb souffler which means "to blow up" or more loosely "puff up"
All soufflés are made by folding stiffly whipped egg whites into a richly seasoned base, either sweet or savoury, then baking until risen and feather-light. It is incredibly versatile and can be flavored with an endless number of ingredients. 
This week, I am going to make a vanilla flavored soufflé, all you need is just spare 30 minutes, get 3 basic ingredients and follow 6 easy steps. All right, let’s getting start to make this classic French Soufflé......

Time:
Servings: 3
Prepare time: 10 min
Baking time: 10-13 min

Ingredients:
30g Sugar
10g Butter (Greasing)
Serving: Chocolate powder/ Icing sugar

Directions:
Preheat oven to 180°C
Brush the insides of 3 Ramekins with butter. Add a small amount of sugar to each and turn them to coat the sides and bottom, shaking out any excess. Set aside to chill in the fridge.


STEP1
Separate the Eggs white and Eggs yolks.


STEP2
Beat and Whisk the Eggs Whites scrupulously in a dry and clean bowl, until they stand in peaks on the whisk and look very creamy.

STEP3
Beat the Egg yolks, Caster Sugar and Drops of Vanilla Extract together in a bowl. Beat them into a thick paste. (Mixture 1)


STEP4
Tip half the Whites on top of the Mixture 1. With a palette knife or large Spoon cut them into it again, slowly rotating the bowl with your hand, lifting rather than stirring the whole mass. Add the remainder of the whites in the same way.


STEP5  
Spoon the Bubbly and Spongy Mixture in to the prepared Ramekins. Run a thumb nail around the inside rim of the ramekins (this helps the soufflés rise evenly without catching on the sides).


Baking:
  Place the Ramekins on the baking tray in the middle of the oven baking about 10-14minutes, until Risen and turning Golden on the surface. Don’t be tempted to open the oven door during baking and then you will see them 
"Puff Up"!

To Serve
With Chocolate Powder or Icing Sugar, sifted on the top of the Souffle, Serve Immediately when they still "puff up"~

      17. I don't leave a response, but after browsing through a few of the comments on this page "How to make a French Souffle - Puff up is just Simple". I do have 2 questions for you if it's okay.
        Is it only me or does it look like a few of these remarks come across like
        they are left by brain dead people? :-P And, if
        you are posting at additional social sites, I'd like to follow everything fresh you have to post. Would you list of the complete urls of your social pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
