For lovers of French cuisine, these tips on how to master the art of making a soufflé are for those who want to give it a try.
Soufflés are so elegant in their presentation that they seem very complicated; they have a base of beaten egg whites with a thick white sauce and egg yolks. Whether as a dessert or a main dish, follow these tips and you'll see that they will turn out delicious.
- For the egg whites to rise well, they must be at room temperature
- You can separate the eggs when they are cold
- Make sure the bowl where you will beat the egg whites is large; egg whites can increase up to nine times their volume.
- The bowl for beating the egg whites must be completely clean; if there is any trace of any ingredient, they will not form correctly.
- Before using the bowl, you can wash it with lemon juice and vinegar. Wipe it with a paper towel.
- You need to beat to stiff peaks. If you don’t beat them enough, they won’t rise in volume; if you notice that the egg whites are still sliding, beat a little more.
- First, combine the egg yolks with the ingredients. To combine the egg whites with the yolks, add 1/4 cup of egg white and mix gently.
- You cannot open the oven at all because it can cause the soufflé to fall. Once cooked, it will naturally decrease in size.
We hope these tips are helpful and that you can prepare delicious soufflés to become a pro at what you love most. Below are some cooking recipes so you can start practicing as soon as possible!
