Ultimate Guide Making Fluffy Soufflé
-
Mix Part A
In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients listed in Part A. Mix until smooth using a whisk or mixer. The batter should be lump-free and slightly thick.Tip: Use room-temperature ingredients for better blending and avoid overmixing to keep the texture light.
-
Whip Part B
In a separate bowl, whip the ingredients in Part B until stiff peaks form. The meringue should be glossy, firm, and hold its shape.Tip: Make sure the bowl and whisk are clean and free of any fat or egg yolk to ensure a proper whip.
-
Combine A and B
Gently fold the meringue into the batter in three additions. Mix with a spatula using folding motions until well combined, without deflating the mixture.Tip: Don't stir aggressively, gentle folding maintains volume and gives you the signature soufflé rise.
-
Preheat Cooking Surface
Set your baking plate, griddle, or non-stick pan to 170-180°C (340-355°F). Let it preheat evenly before piping the batter.Tip: Use a thermometer for precise control, consistent heat ensures even cooking and maximum rise.
-
Pipe the Batter
Transfer the batter to a piping bag and pipe your desired portion size onto the hot surface. Use ring molds for perfect shape if preferred.Tip: Ring molds help achieve uniform height and shape, especially for professional presentation in cafés or bakeries.
-
Cook the First Side
Cover the pan and cook the first side for 3-4 minutes, until the base is golden and the top is puffed but still soft.Tip: Covering the pan traps steam, which helps the soufflé rise and keeps it moist inside.
-
Flip and Cook the Second Side
Carefully flip the soufflé pancake, cover again, and cook for 4-6 minutes, until the other side is golden brown and the inside is fully cooked.Tip: Gently press the top, if it springs back without leaving a dent, it's done.
