Tasty but a flop; more like pudding than souffle. Followed directions scrupulously but going back to my lodestar, Julia Child, for souffles.

I have been making souffles for many years and this is the first time I made a souffle which failed. I followed the directions exactly, but mine didn't rise at all. In fact, when I took it out of the oven, it deflated to the bottom of the cup almost instantly. I won't be making this again.

To those having trouble getting souffles to rise, it probably means you are not being gentle enough when folding in the egg whites. Since I hate taking forever carefully folding egg whites into souffle mixtures, do what I do: add 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar per egg white (so 3/4 teaspoon in this recipe along with the salt, before mixing. This will give your egg whites a stability that makes it very difficult to deflate (and no flavor or texture change.

The flavor is amazing. Howeverer, I agree that the souffle wouldn't lift. I have made it four times and it failed each time. I followed the recipe to the letter with no success. I would love to know what I'm doing wrong!

First attempt at any souffle and it was fantastic.Tops were tall and fluffy and actually looked better than picture. I did change recipe to half. Just wish I would have made the creme anglaise sooner so it would have set more. Pretty easy recipe just remember to whisk like you mean it! Thanks Anne

We have tried this recipe 4 times, and it has flopped 4 times!! Love ya Anne but was this a trick to get new contestants for your Worst Cooks In America program? Don't know what we are doing wrong. The eggs are at stiff peak, the lemon mixture done verbatim, folding gently and completely mixing without streaks. We just don't get it!!!! Why does it come out like lemon pie filling instead of soufflé? Help!!!!

Very good! It has a nice tart lemon flavor.
I feel as though I didn't let my mixture cook down. It was very thin. After I baked it, I got a lemon curd like pudding that set on the bottom, which was still very good by itself. I’m definitely going to make it again.
I’m having a hard time deciding whether I like chocolate or lemon soufflé better.
