Ingredients:
- 1 lemon (zest and juice)
- 1 egg (separated)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Lemon:
- Zest the lemon, then squeeze out the juice. Set aside.
- Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a small soufflé dish or two ramekins with butter, then dust with a little sugar to coat the inside.
- Make the Base:
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolk with 1 tablespoon of sugar until the mixture is pale and creamy.
- Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla extract to the egg yolk mixture. Whisk until well combined.
- Whip the Egg White:
- In a separate, clean bowl, add a pinch of salt to the egg white and whisk until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the remaining tablespoon of sugar while continuing to whisk until stiff peaks form.
- Combine Mixtures:
- Gently fold the egg white into the lemon mixture, taking care not to deflate the batter.
- Bake:
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared soufflé dish or ramekins.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the soufflé has risen and the top is lightly golden.
- Serve:
- Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately for the best texture and presentation.
Tips:
- Timing is Key: Soufflés are best enjoyed immediately after baking as they tend to deflate quickly.
- Gently Folding: Be gentle when folding the egg whites into the lemon mixture to maintain the airy texture.
