For those of you who are not familiar with soufflés, they are elaborations whose basic ingredient is egg whites stiffened to the point of snow. This is the basis of the airy, fluffy and light texture of the soufflé. They also include other ingredients, depending on whether they are sweet or savory preparations. All cooked in the oven.

They have their origin in France. In fact, its name comes from the French verb souffler, which means to blow, to inflate. Since these elaborations seem to be filled with air, an inflated snack with a spectacular and spongy texture.
It is believed that its origin was between the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, when it began to appear on the menus of the best restaurants of the time.

Celebrate Chocolate Soufflé Day with this great recipe

Soufflés are made in individual, tall, oven-safe containers, because when the soufflé is baked, it must double in volume. The way of baking these elaborations is in the oven. Traditionally, these recent ones are known as Ramekines.

If you do not have individual containers for the oven, you can get them in any shopping mall or supermarket. You can also find them in any homeware store.

One of the key points of this preparation is to beat the egg whites until stiff. This is essential for the soufflé to acquire its characteristic texture.
Even so, if the first few times you see that it does not rise, or the result is not as expected, do not worry. It is a complex preparation that requires some practice. The oven also has a great influence. So if the first few times it doesn’t turn out as expected, don’t worry, it’s completely normal.
