Simple Chocolate Souffle
25 g cornflour
250 ml milk
100 g good dark chocolate
50 g sugar
3 egg yolks
5 egg whites
1 tablespoon extra sugar, caster if available.
Mix cornflour to a thin paste with some of the milk.
Put the remaining milk in a saucepan with the chocolate and sugar, and stir over a gentle heat until the chocolate melts and the sugar dissolves.
Add cornflour paste carefully and bring mixture to boil to thicken, stirring continuously, then remove from heat.
Beat in egg yolks one by one, and leave mixture to cool slightly. (You can prepare in advance this far and if needed warm the mixture slightly before continuing.)
Beat egg whites until they begin to stand in soft peaks, then add extra sugar and beat until the mixture stands in stiff peaks but is not dry.
Immediately pour into greased and sugared 1 litre souffle dish, and bake at 190 degrees celsius for 40 - 45 minutes. Serve immediately.
OK, for the Americans, I converted this. Anyone who is good at this, please check to see if I did it right.
3 T cornstarch
1 cup milk
3 1/2 oz good dark chocolate
4 T sugar
3 egg yolks
5 egg whites
1 tablespoon extra fine sugar, if available
And the oven temp. is 375.
I just realized that it looks like falconea left a step out - there is no mention made, after beating the eggwhites, of folding them into the chocolate mixture
