Equipment
- Electric mixer
- Mixing Bowls
- Ramekins
- Zester
- Saucepan
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs separated
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Pinch of salt
- Butter and sugar for coating ramekins
- Egg yolks
- Egg whites
- Lemon batter
- Soufflé mixture
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and coat the ramekins with butter and sugar to ensure the soufflés rise evenly and do not stick.
- Whisk egg yolks with half of the sugar until creamy, then mix in flour, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt to form a smooth batter.
- In a separate bowl, whip egg whites until stiff peaks form, gradually adding the remaining sugar to achieve a fluffy texture for the soufflé.
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the lemon batter using a spatula, maintaining a light and airy mixture without deflating it.
- Divide the soufflé mixture among the ramekins, filling them to the top, and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until puffed up and golden.
- Serve the Lemon Soufflés immediately after baking to savor the delicate and zesty flavors with each luscious spoonful.
