Marmalade Soufflé
(This is my adaptation of Willan's "At-a-Glance" version
of the recipe.)
Serves 4
Time in kitchen:7 - 10 minutes....Baking time: 7 - 10 minutes
| 1/4 cup lemon marmalade (or any flavor marmalade you prefer) |
| 1 - 2 tablespoons butter |
| 4 egg whites |
| pinch of salt |
| 1/3 cup sugar |
| Preheat oven to 375, allowing 5 minutes for this before you start. Melt butter in a small pan. Brush four ramekins (1-cup capacity each) with the butter |
| Melt marmalade with 1/4 cup water in a small pan. |
| Meanwhile, stiffly whisk egg whites with a pinch of salt. Add sugar and continue whisking 30 - 60 seconds to make a light meringue. |
| Stir about one-quarter of meringue into melted, still warm marmalade. Add this to remaining meringue and fold together. |
| Spoon mixture into prepared ramekins, making decorative shallow peaks at their centers. Bake until puffed and brown, 7 - 10 minutes. |
| Set ramekins on individual plates and serve at once. |
| Note: I found this recipe did not make enough soufflé to serve four; everyone wanted more of this ephemeral delight. Now I double the recipe to serve four. |
