Souffle A La Fraise Strawberry Souffle Recipes

LA FRAISE

Steps:

• Combine the strawberries and sugar in a bowl and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. Mash using a potato masher or a fork into a chunky puree. Add the vanilla bean pod and seeds and the lemon juice. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours. Discard the vanilla bean before serving.
• Put 4 champagne flutes in the freezer at least 15 minutes before serving. Remove the flutes from the freezer and put a tablespoon or two of the strawberry puree and the liquid into each flute. Fill the glasses to the top with champagne.

STRAWBERRY SOUFFLé

Steps:

• Remove wire racks from oven and place a baking sheet directly on oven floor. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Generously butter a 1 1/2-quart soufflé dish. Coat bottom and sides thoroughly with sugar, tapping out excess. To get the best rise, make sure there is sugar covering all of the butter on the sides of the dish.
• In a medium bowl, toss berries with 1/3 cup sugar and vinegar. Let stand for at least 30 minutes.
• Drain berries in a sieve set over a bowl, reserving juices. If less than 1/4 cup, add water to total 1/4 cup liquid.
• In a small saucepan, combine 2/3 cup sugar with berry juices. Bring to a boil over high heat, swirling occasionally, until sugar is completely dissolved. Cover pan and continue to boil until sugar reaches 235 degrees on a candy thermometer (soft ball stage), about 1 minute.
• Fold drained berries into hot syrup and bring mixture back to a boil, about 1 minute. Drain berries again, again reserving juices. Return juices to the saucepan and boil until thickened, adding any accumulated juices in the bowl of berries as you go, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, fold in berries and lemon zest, and set aside to thicken and cool slightly.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat egg whites until foamy. Add salt and cream of tartar and gradually increase speed to high. Add remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, a tablespoon at a time, and continue beating until egg whites hold stiff, glossy peaks. Immediately add berry mixture to one side of the bowl and quickly but delicately fold together. Transfer batter to prepared dish. Rub your thumb around the inside edge of the dish to create about a 1/4-inch space between the dish and the soufflé mixture.
• Transfer dish to baking sheet in the oven. Bake until soufflé is puffed and center moves only slightly when dish is shaken gently, about 10 to 12 minutes. Bake it a little less for a runnier soufflé and a little more for a firmer soufflé. Serve immediately.

STRAWBERRY SOUFFLE PANCAKES RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Beat two of the egg yolks with the half-and-half (reserve the third yolk for another purpose). Add the flour slowly, stirring just enough to combine. Stir in the sugar, salt, melted butter and Grand Marnier. Beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Gently mix egg whites into batter. Heat a lightly greased 8-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet, or a heavy cast-iron skillet, over moderately high heat or until oil bubbles. Pour the batter into the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until bottom of the pancake is browned and bubbles appear around the edges, for 5 to 8 minutes. Arrange the berries gently on top of the batter. Place the pan 4 to 5 inches below the broiler and cook until the top of the pancake is brown and the center is just set but still soft. Now place the pan in a 450°F oven for 4 to 5 minutes. Gently slide the pancake onto a warmed serving place, dust with powdered sugar and whisk it to the table. Serve with more sliced strawberries and raspberries.
