Materials

Egg whites 4 sugar 60g Egg yolks 4 sugar 20g Milk 300ML Vanilla pod 1/3 Low gluten flour 40g Unsalted butter 40g

Methods step11Prepare the ingredients beforehand, so you won't be in a mess when you're making them.

step22

Coat the inside of the baking mold with a layer of whipped cream (to make it easier for the soufflé to rise when baking), then coat with a thin layer of sugar (to increase the crispiness), pour out the excess sugar, and place the mold in the freezer.

step33

Scrape the seeds from the vanilla pods and add the pods to a saucepan of milk and heat until lightly simmering (with small bubbles around the edges of the pan), then turn off the heat.

step44

Separate the egg yolks from the whites, and whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until pale yellow and thick (with creases in the egg droplets).

step55

Add sifted low gluten flour to the egg yolk batter and mix well.

step66

The egg yolk batter is whisked into the slightly warmed milk and unsalted cream that has just been heated. (Remember to remove the vanilla pod from the milk pan first)

step77

Pour the egg yolk paste back into the milk pan and heat it up, stirring continuously until it becomes a small paste, thick and non-sticky, then turn off the heat and set aside to cool.

step88

To make the meringue, whisk the egg whites and sugar until stiff peaks form. At this time, you can first preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

step99

Add the meringue to the egg yolk mixture in 2-3 batches, and mix with a cutting motion until the mixture is evenly distributed (a long strip drips down the sides when you lift the spatula), and then place it evenly into the baking mold.

step1111

Place the baking mold on a baking sheet, fill with hot water about 1/3 of the height of the mold (to increase the humidity of the oven), and bake at 180 degrees for about 20 minutes. (It is recommended to bake while observing the color and rise)

step1212

After removing from the oven, you can add powdered sugar to decorate or not (please grasp the first time), and then you can enjoy the crispy and delicious Soufflé Roux!
