Before you begin: - Butter 5 or 6 individual molds by first brushing bottoms, then brushing up the sides.
- Coat bowl lightly with sugar, making sure it's completely covered.
- Refrigerate until hardened (about the time it takes to prepare the souffles).
Ingredients: 1 qt. milk
2 cups granulated sugar
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
2 cups bread flour
12 egg yolks
3 cups egg whites
3-1/2 oz. French chocolate or semisweet chocolate (cut into thin pieces) Preparation: Bring the milk and sugar to slow simmer on the stove. Meanwhile, prepare a beurre manie (burr mahn-YAH -- French for "kneaded butter": a paste made of softened butter and flour, usually equal parts, that is used to thicken sauces) by mixing the butter and bread flour. Use your hands to form a doughlike mixture. Add the beurre manie to the milk and sugar on the stove. Fold in with a whisk until completely incorporated. Reduce heat to low and stir constantly until well blended. It will become difficult to stir. Place in a large bowl and slowly mix with a paddle-whip mixer. While mixture is still hot, add the chocolate pieces; then when batter has cooled slightly, add the egg yolks, one at a time, until blended. Place this base mixture in a very large mixing bowl. Whip egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Carefully fold egg whites into base mixture and incorporate a little at a time. Fill serving bowls 3/4 full. Refrigerate for about an hour. Twenty minutes before serving, bake at 425 degrees for about 20 minutes. Souffles are done when the top is firm and the bottom begins to separate, forming a mushroom cloud. Serve within 5 minutes. These can be served plain or with fresh berries and cream. Books: Favorite Chocolate Recipes
