Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 large juicy lemon
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 egg whites stiffly beaten
  • 40 grams sugar
  • 2 tbsp butter or margarine
  • 4 tsp candied orange peel finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 75 ml hot milk

Instructions
 

  • Rub the sugar lumps hard against the skin of the lemon to allow them to absorb the essence (optional)
  • Combine the hot milk and the sugar in a bowl, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  • Peel the lemon thinly and chop the rind very finely,
  • Squeeze out the lemon juice reserving 50 ml for the souffle.
  • Place the flour in a small saucepan and add the milk, stirring with a wooden spoon until smooth.
  • Add the butter or margarine and heat gently, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thick and smooth.
  • Add the salt, stir well and remove from the stove.
  • Beat in the egg yolks, one at a time, and pour in the lemon juice in a thin steady stream at the same time to prevent curdling.
  • Stir in the lemon rind and candied orange peel.
  • Fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites and pour the mixture into a well-greased souffle dish.
  • Bake in the oven at 180ºC (350°F) for 30 minutes.
  • Serve immediately.
