Did I mention the Chocolate Souffle?
3 tbs butter, plus more for greasing the souffle' cups
6 tbs sugar, plus more for dusting the souffle' cups
1 cup of milk
3 tbs flour
3 tbs Dutch processed cocoa
2 oz (1/3 cup) semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, melted
4 eggs, separated
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and set a full kettle of water on to boil.
Butter 6 4oz souffle' cups and coat with sugar. Set aside. Bring the milk to a
boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and cocoa to the
butter and beat with a whisk until it has a smooth, paste-like consistency.
Reduce heat and let the mixture cook 1 min. Slowly add the hot milk, whisking
until smooth, then blend in melted chocolate.
Set aside to cool for 5 minutes, then stir in egg yolks.
In a separate bowl beat egg whites until frothy. Slowly add sugar, 1 tbs. at a
time, until stiff glossy peaks form.
Stir a heaping spoonful of egg whites into the chocolate, then fold in the
remaining whites just until combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared souffle' cups.
Place the cups in a large baking dish and add enough boiling water to reach
halfway up the sides of the souffle' cups.
Bake for 20 min.
Serve immediately with vanilla and/or chocolate sauces.
Serves 6.
Best if you have souffle making experience
