A soufflé is a classic French dish known for its dramatic rise when baking. It's a delicate dessert that requires precise technique to get just right. This recipe for Souffle Al La Vanille uses simple ingredients like eggs, milk, sugar and vanilla to create a light and airy dessert that's perfect for any special occasion. Serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an elegant presentation. While soufflés can be difficult to master, once you get the hang of it, they're a delicious and impressive dessert to add to your repertoire.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2.Butter a 4-cup soufflé dish and sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar, tilting to coat the bottom and sides evenly. Tap out any excess.
3.In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, scald the milk.
4.In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks until light. Gradually whisk in the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat until thick and pale yellow. Whisk in the flour mixture.
5.Whisking constantly, slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture boils and thickens, about 5 minutes.
6.Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter and vanilla. Scrape the mixture into a large bowl and set aside.
7.In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until firm peaks form. Whisk one quarter of the egg whites into the yolk mixture to lighten it, then gently fold in the remaining egg whites until no white streaks remain.
8.Pour the mixture into the prepared soufflé dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake until golden brown and puffed, about 35 minutes. Serve immediately.
