The secret to the perfect soufflé

Making the perfect soufflé is all about mastering simple techniques. Here’s the step-by-step breakdown:

1. Preparation: Your oven should ALWAYS be preheated to the exact temperature required - precision is key.
2. Ingredients: Use room temperature eggs for better volume. Separate yolks and whites cleanly.
3. Mixing: Beat the egg whites to soft peaks, adding a pinch of cream of tartar.
4. Folding: Gently fold the egg whites into your base - DO NOT overmix!
5. Baking: Place the soufflé dish on the middle rack without opening the oven door during baking.

This method consistently works for me, and I’ve tried many variations. Happy baking!
