How can there be any egg whites "remaining" if I do the first folding step? |
That's just a continuation of the previous step... two photos, so I broke it up into two descriptions. |

|
|
The only ramekins i managed to get seem to hold about 120 ml. Should i just apply the same quantities and fill three instead of two, or are there any more adjustments i should make? {For instance, will it still bake right within the same time, even though the volume is smaller?}
Btw, thanks for the most comprehensive recipes site on the internet! :=D |

You probably don't have to make any adjustments to the ingredients, but you might need to shorten the baking time. It also depends on the shape of the ramekins - a smaller diameter (higher sides) works better than a larger diameter (low sides - like the ones used for creme brulees). The time needed will more or less be a guess at this point, so I'm going to hazard 12-13 minutes? |

|

Thanks for the quick response!
I suspected that, about the taller ramekins being better, and now you confirm. I measured mine: they are 4 cm high, and expanding {that's bad too, right?}, so diameter is 8.5 cm on top and 5.5 cm at the bottom.
They're also made of fail... i mean foil, instead of ceramic.
I actually found a place that sells the good kind {ceramic, streight sides, like on the photo}, but only after i got the mpression they can't be found and bought the alumnium foil ones. So i wanna try making it in those, and if it fails, i'll get the good ones. :=} |

You should beat the egg whites to stiff peaks once you incorporate the sugar and cream of tartar - before you mix it into the chocolate. |

|
|
if i have baked these souffles correctly in the first place can i turn them out of the moulds and reheat in the microwave or oven and still get them to rise a little. if so for how long do i rehaet them.
in essence i am asking can you bake them again before serving and if not this recipe do you have another recipe for a twice baked souffle? |

Wondering if 8 oz coofee cups would wok.I think it would make a nice presentation,they are brown, and I also would be able to use the matching saucers.I am having a dinner party next week and cant wait to try.I love thet fact that you stated that it could be made hours before
Thanks |

The process here is off, hence the souffle rose very little as it should have about three times the height. It looks to dense also, more like a brownie.
Do not use Pam like someone before had mentioned, do you really want chocolate and eggs, which are in the scheme of things delicate flavors, to have that artificial flavors. Just make sure your butter layer is thin and up to the rim, dust with sugar.
Also, melt your chocolate first, remove from heat and quickly add butter stirriing to incorporate thoroughly. Then stir in the cream, warm the cream slightly first. This way your chocolate will not sieze as it has done in the picture. Souffles also benefit from a smidge of alcohol, giving the souffle more of a lift. Add an extra egg white when whipping the meringue. This should give your souffle a lighter texture and higher rise. |

|
|
In Holland (where I live) they don't sell heavy cream (well, maybe the occasional British shop in the occasional big city). Can I also use normal 'whipping' cream, which contains 30% fat?
Is there a variation possible with 100 grams grained almonds? Of course I could just try it out, but I'm prepairing for the Easter meal and rather don't fail with an experiment that doesn't turn out to be good.
Thanks beforehand. |
