1 cup milk
6 eggs, separated
2 lemons, zested then juiced
Butter or shortening, for greasing

surprisingly good recipe
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

In the process of making this I had my doubts, but what I ended up with was a light, slightly sweet and lemony souffle. I... think filling the baking dish with hot water is the key step, since this souffle is kind of half-custard. I also dusted my ramekins with sugar to help the souffle climb and used two (small) lemons instead of just one. Overall, great recipe.Read more

Delicious souffle
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This souffle had a very light, sweet lemony taste. To those of you who don't know, some souffle's work differently and are... half souffle and half custard. If you souffle didn't rise enough, you need to butter and dust sugar on the custard cups and not overbeat the egg whites so that the souffle meets your standards.Read more

how this dish turned out
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I was disappointed. Mysouffle liked just like it did in the picture. However, it was watery at the bottom of the souffle... cups. The bottom had an egg custard appearance that taste like eggs, the top was dry and fluffy, and had the lemon taste to it only slightly. I threw it all out. On the positive side, I am out of very few ingredients. However, the prep time was long, and the time to cook in a hot kitchen made the experience a disappointment for me.Read more
