Souffle: Custard and Beaten Egg Whites
Soufflé

Definition:
The word soufflé is derived from the verb “souffler” in French which means to blow or puff up. Soufflé can be sweet or savory. Every soufflé is made from 2 basic components; a base of flavored cream sauce and beaten egg whites. It can be categorized as Hot Soufflé and Cold Soufflé.
** Hot (Baked) Soufflé :
A baked soufflé is a light baked dessert made mostly with egg yolks and beaten egg whites combined with various other ingredients for flavor such as : fish , cheese or fruit .During cooking, the air trapped in the egg whites expands and increases the volume of the preparation, which must be served immediately, before it collapses.
How to make a Baked Basic Soufflé :
 Firstly, melt butter in a heavy saucepan. Once the butter has melted, sprinkle over a spoon of flour to make a roux. It’s important to cook the roux for a few minutes to get rid of any floury tastes. Then stir for a while until it starts to change to little color, about 3 minutes over medium heat.
 When the roux is thickened, the milk is added for make a béchamel – this is a slow process. Cook, keep stirring very often, on medium heat for 15 minutes.
 When ready, the béchamel will be thickened and start to boil.
 Beat the egg yolks in a small bowl, add sugar then pour the béchamel slowly, to temper the eggs. Use a ladle to add half-a-cup at a time, if all the béchamel were added to the egg yolks at once, it would begin to cook the egg yolks and you would end up a stringy mess.
 Then, keep whisking the egg whites until they are stiff. That probably gives the final soufflé more lift.
 Folded 1/4 of the whites into the sauce to lighten it. Then carefully folded in the remaining whites to keep as much air in them as possible.
 After that, sprinkle the ramekin base with sugar and tilt the ramekin so that the bottom and the side are covered before tipping out any extra sugar.
 Finally, pour the mixture soufflé into the ramekin , and put in the oven at

    To do that you will need the bowl you mixed the dry ingredients in, a whisk, 1-¼ cups of milk, 1 egg, and 3 tablespoons of butter. With the bowl you were using, you are going to make a hole in the middle of it with your hands. When you have made the hole add the egg in the hole. Once the egg is inside the hole, add the milk as well (the milk might overflow a little but that it is okay). Then, when you have poured the milk inside the bowl, microwave the butter. Once the butter is microwaved put it inside the hole and whisk everything together (the dry and…

    Eggs are a necessary ingredient to nearly any baked good. However, the two parts of the egg, the yolk and the white, have very different compositions. Egg yolks are high in fat, while the whites contain a great amount of protein. Fats interfere with the proteins ' ability to form bonds and trap air, keeping them from becoming as fluffy as they could be. However, whipping egg whites on their own mixes air into the whites and disarranges their protein molecules. The protein molecules are usually in clusters. Whipping causes them to stretch out and link together, trapping the air into tiny bubbles. Thus, using the egg whites on their own allows the proteins to whip up to their fullest potential height.…

    I crack open the two eggs and pour them in the bowl, throwing away the shells. I measure 1/4 cup of water and pour it in the mixture as well as 2/3's of a cup of oil. The hardest part is blending it in really well; I take two minutes really mixing in the ingredients, making sure everything is well mixed in and is on the right condition, not too creamy, but not too hard. Once I am done with that, I grab a couple of Oreos and start breaking them into pieces and putting them in the plastic bag. I start hitting the Oreos, cracking them into smaller pieces and then pouring that into the brownie mixture.…

    When you beat raw egg white to make a souffle, you send air bubbles into the water protein solution. Adding air bubbles to egg whites unfolds the egg proteins just like heating them. The reason why air bubbles makes egg proteins uncurl is because of the amino acids that make up proteins. Some amino acids are attracted to water, other amino acids are repelled by water. Egg whites contain both kinds of amino acids. When the protein is curled up, the water repelled amino acids are packed in the center away from the water and the water attracted amino acids are on the outside closer to the water. When an egg protein is up against an air bubble, part of…
