How are souffles made?

Soufflés all start out the same: egg whites and yolks are separated. The egg whites are beaten until stiff peaks form to get the airy tops soufflés are famous for, while the egg yolks are beaten and combined with other ingredients to create a sweet or savory soufflé.

Can you eat a fallen soufflé?

If you’re not familiar with soufflé cakes, this dessert may look a little odd — but it’s delicious. The cake is designed to be eaten once it has collapsed and cooled (just the opposite of a regular soufflé).

How do you make a soufflé rise higher?

Some souffle dishes have a collar, and some people add one with tin foil in order to make the souffle rise higher. If your dish has a collar, fill it all the way to the top of the pan. If it doesn’t have one, three quarters of the way will do. Those souffles that collapse when a pin drops are too dry.

Can you make a soufflé without cream of tartar?

If you do not have cream of tartar in your pantry, your soufflé will not be ruined. You can make soufflé without adding any acid to your egg whites, as long as you beat them to very stiff peaks. If you happen to have tartaric or citric acid, you can use either instead of cream of tartar.

Can you make a soufflé without a ramekin?

To make a soufflé at home without using a ramekin, look to your kitchen cupboards and choose a well-sized coffee mug or teacup! Choose one which is medium-size, or a little smaller, to allow the soufflé to cook how it should, still being soft on the inside.
