Print 3x5
Instructions
- Mix 1/4 of a pound of flour very smoothly with 1 1/2 pints of milk; add 1/4 of a pound of sugar, which has been well rubbed upon the rind of 3 fresh lemons, and flavor with vanilla or other extracts, and 1/4 of a pound of butter, and boil gently until the mixture is thick and smooth.
- Pour it out and stir it until it is nearly cold, then add the yolks of 6 eggs, well beaten.
- Last of all, whisk the whites of 9 eggs to a firm foam, and add them, with the strained juice of 2 lemons, to the rest.
- Butter a souffle-mould thickly, half fill it with the mixture, and bake in a moderate oven.
- If it is necessary to fill the mould more than half, tie a band of well-buttered white paper round the top, to prevent the contents running over.
- Serve the souffle the moment it comes out of the oven, or its appearance will be spoilt.
- Time to bake, from thirty to forty minutes.
