Lemon Souffle Dessert
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 1-quart souffle dish with cooking spray; set aside. In a large bowl combine 2 tablespoons of the granulated sugar and the flour. Whisk in lemon peel, lemon juice, and melted butter until smooth. In a small bowl whisk together egg yolks and milk. Whisk egg yolk mixture into flour mixture just until combined; set aside.
- In a medium bowl beat egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form (tips curl). Gradually add remaining 4 tablespoons granulated sugar, beating on high speed until stiff peaks form (tips stand straight). Stir a small amount of beaten egg whites into lemon mixture to lighten. Gently fold in remaining beaten egg whites (batter will be thin).
- Pour batter into prepared souffle dish. Place souffle dish in a 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Place baking pan on an oven rack. Pour boiling water into baking pan around souffle dish to a depth of 1 inch.
- Bake about 40 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. Carefully remove souffle dish from baking pan. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar. Serve warm.

This was beautiful on the outside but very liquid on the inside with solid materials. Is this the result I should expect? Some soufflés are solid under the top and others are not. I used orange instead of lemon (zest and juice). It's awesome. Oh, I candied some of the zest for the top.

This was lovely! My first souffle. The top was absolute heaven, but the bottom was a bit... liquidy. I was afraid that the top would burn if I cooked it any longer.

This was lovely! My first souffle ever. The top was absolute heaven, the bottom, well.... was a bit liquidy. I was afraid to burn the top if I baked it any longer.
