What you need:
1 cup bittersweet chocolate, chopped
3 tablespoons butter plus additional for brushing
2 tablespoons flour
4 eggs yolks
1/2 cup sugar, plus additional for sprinkling
7 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
powdered sugar for garnish
What to do:
Preheat oven to 375 °F. Brush souffle cups with butter then sprinkle al over with sugar. Set aside.
Melt chocolate and butter in a metal bowl over a pot of simmering water (do not allow the bottom touch the water). Stir until melted and smooth. Mix in flour.
Beat egg yolks with half of the amount of sugar until thick. Stir into chocolate and butter mixture. Set aside.
Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until it reaches soft peaks. Add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar a little at a time, beating until stiff. Fold in half of the stiff whites into the chocolate mixture. Add remaining whites, and fold and mix until well combined.
Use a small laddle to spoon into souffle dishes until three-fourths full. Run the end of your smallest finger or a small metal spatula around the inside edge of the souffle dish to help the souffle rise evenly.
Bake in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes until souffles puff and forms a crust on top but still jiggles in the center. Serve immediately dust with powdered sugar on top.
Makes 15 souffles. Prep. Time 15 minutes. Baking Time 10 to 15 minutes.
