Lemon Souffle With Warm Honey Drizzle

Are you looking for a light, not to sweet dessert? Then this is for you. For the food bloggers out there, if you plan on taking pictures of your souffle, move faster than I did. As you can see, mine is already loosing its volume.

Lemon souffle Shots


Ingredients:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more, room temperature, for dishes
1/2 cup granulated sugar,, plus more for dishes
8 large egg yolks plus 10 large egg whites, room temperature
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons), plus 2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest
1 cup whole milk

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter six 12-ounce souffle dishes, and then dust with sugar. Whisk together yolks, flour, zest, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.

2. Bring milk to a boil in a small saucepan. Slowly pour milk into yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent yolks from cooking. Return mixture to pan, and whisk until thick like a pudding,1 to 2 minutes. Strain through a sieve,and whisk in butter and lemon juice.

3. Beat whites until foamy. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and beat until stiff peaks form,. Stir a third of the whites into the yolk mixture. Gently fold in the remaining whites using a rubber spatula.

4. Fill each souffle dish to the the top, and smooth. Run your thumb around edges to remove batter from rims.

5. Bake on a rimmed baking sheet until souffles rise and area golden, about 16 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar or warmed honey. Serve immediately, before souffles lose their height.

A wonderful recipe from Martha Stewart Living.

Sweet and Savory, they are great for a cold night because you need to eat them right out of the oven.

Arlene, The cup and saucer are from World Market. I loved the little shots also.

Year on the Grill, Yeah, I thought the cup and saucer worked out well.

Urban Ideas, they are light and delicious.
