Martha's lemon souffle FAQ:
Bake the lemon soufflé for about 25-30 minutes at 375°F (190°C). It's essential not to open the oven door during the first 20 minutes to prevent it from collapsing.
The soufflé is done when it is puffed up and golden brown on top. It should also feel set in the center but still have a slight jiggle when gently shaken.
Lemon soufflé is best served immediately, as it tends to deflate over time. However, if you have leftovers, cover them loosely and refrigerate for up to 1 day, but expect some loss of texture.
You can use lime juice or a combination of lemon extract and water as a substitute for lemon juice. However, this will alter the flavor slightly.
A standard soufflé dish, typically about 1 to 1.5 quarts in size, works best. Ensure it is well-greased with butter to prevent sticking.
Cooking Tips:
- Make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature before starting.
- Carefully and gently fold the egg whites into the mixture to maintain as much air as possible.
- Preheat your oven properly and avoid opening it during baking to prevent the soufflé from falling.
- Use fresh lemons for the best taste and maximum zest flavor.
- Grease the soufflé dish with butter and sprinkle it with a bit of sugar to help it rise evenly.
