Ingredients

  • tablespoons butter unsalted plus more, room temperature, for dishes
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar plus more for dishes
  • large egg yolk room temperature
  • tablespoons flour all-purpose
  • 0.3 cup juice of lemon fresh finely grated (from 2 lemons)
  • cup milk whole
  • serving powdered sugar 

Equipment

  • frying pan
  • baking sheet
  • sauce pan
  • oven
  • whisk
  • sieve
  • spatula

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter six 12-ounce souffle dishes, and then dust with granulated sugar.
  2. Whisk together yolks, flour, zest, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
  3. Bring milk to a boil in a small saucepan. Slowly pour milk into yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent yolks from cooking. Return mixture to pan, and whisk until thick like a pudding, 1 to 2 minutes. Strain through a sieve, and whisk in butter and lemon juice.
  4. Beat whites until foamy. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and beat until stiff peaks form. Stir a third of the whites into the yolk mixture. Gently fold in the remaining whites using a rubber spatula.
  5. Fill each souffle dish to the top, and smooth. Run your thumb around edges to remove batter from rims.
  6. Bake on a rimmed baking sheet until souffles rise and are golden, about 16 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar, and serve immediately, before souffles lose their height.
