Cooking Tips

Cook until just coats a metal spoon:
For stirred custard mixtures, the eggs are cooked just right when a thin film adheres to a metal spoon when dipped into the custard. Stirred custards should not boil. This act of coating a metal spoon is 20 to 30 degrees below boiling. The finished product should be soft and thickened but not set. Stirred custards will thicken slightly after refrigeration.

Sweet Soufflé

Serves 4-6

Ingredients:
Sweet Soufflé
White Sauce:
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
4 medium-sized eggs separated
Flavouring (see below)

Method:
Preheat the oven to 200ºC. Make the white sauce by melting the butter and stirring in the flour. Cook until the mixture is frothy then gradually add the milk, stirring and cooking until the sauce thickens. Remove from the heat and allow to cool a little. Choose one of the flavourings below and add to the sauce. To make the soufflé, separate the egg yolk from the whites. Beat the egg whites to a stiff foam or until the peaks fold over when the beater is removed Beat the egg yolks together with a fork. Combine the egg yolks with the cooled white sauce. Fold the sauce mixture carefully into the egg whites. Turn the soufflé mixture into a well-greased medium sized soufflé dish or individual soufflé dishes. Bake for 25-35 minutes or until firm when lightly touched. Serve immediately. Grapefruit Flavouring: Add 1 tablespoon of grapefruit rind and 2 tablespoons of sugar to the cooked white sauce. Chocolate Flavouring: Mix 2 tablespoons of cocoa and 2 tablespoons of sugar together in a small saucepan. Stir in 1/4 cup water and then dissolve the cocoa and sugar. Stir into the white sauce and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence.
