Be gentle and using the folding technique
- 18
Spoon the mixture into ramekins evenly with batter all the way up to the top
- 19
Then smooth the surface using a spatula to get a nice flat top
- 20
An important tip to make the souffle get a nice beautiful height is to run your thumb at the perimeter of the ramekins and create a small channel along the edge
- 21
Do this to get a good ¼ to ½ inch perimeter channel in the ramekins
- 22
Clean the outer surface of the ramekins using a kitchen towel and pop the ramekins into the oven and bake it for 13 to 15 minutes or until it’s risen well and cooked
- 23
Once souffle is done and risen, remove it from the baking tray using kitchen towel, as I found using oven mittens could disturb and break the souffle at the top
- 24
Dust with confectionery sugar, add a dollop of sweetened whipped cream and serve immediately
