Lemon Soufflé: Gourmet Recipe

Ingredients:

4 large eggs, separated
1/2 cup granulated sugar, divided
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter and dust with sugar four 6-ounce ramekins (or any ovenproof dishes) and place them on a baking sheet.
In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks and 1/4 cup sugar until light and frothy. Add flour, melted butter, lemon juice, and zest, and whisk until smooth.
In a separate bowl, place egg whites and cream of tartar, and beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, and beat until stiff and shiny.
Using a spatula, gently fold the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture until well combined.
Divide the mixture among the prepared ramekins, filling them three-quarters full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the soufflés have risen and are golden brown on top.
Dust the soufflés with confectioners’ sugar, and serve immediately while still warm.
