• Cooking method: Baking
• Prep time: 20 minutes
• Cooking time: 15 minutes
• Cuisine type: French

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) milk
• 1 tablespoon (15 g) unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon (8 g) all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg, separated
• 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons (25 g) sugar, divided
• Pinch of salt
• Butter and sugar for coating the ramekin

Cooking Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Butter a 6-ounce ramekin and coat it with sugar. Tap out the excess.
3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk until steam rises. Add the butter and stir until melted.
4. Add the flour to the saucepan, whisking continuously until smooth and thickened. Remove from heat.
5. Whisk the egg yolk into the mixture along with the vanilla extract. Set aside.
6. In a clean bowl, beat the egg white with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1 tablespoon (12.5 g) of sugar, beating until stiff and glossy.
7. Carefully fold the egg white into the yolk mixture until well combined.
8. Pour the mixture into the prepared ramekin, level the top with a spatula.
9. Run a thumb around the inside edge of the ramekin to help the soufflé rise evenly.
10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until puffed and golden. Serve immediately.

Suggestions

• Swap vanilla with almond extract for a nutty twist.
• Top with powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream for added flair.
• For a cheesy version, replace the sugar with grated parmesan or cheddar.
• Avoid opening the oven door while baking to prevent deflation drama.
