Ingredients




3 tablespoons flour, plain
4 tablespoons butter
300 ml milk
5 eggs
4 tablespoons sugar (caster)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence

Preparation

1 Carefully separate the eggs. 2 Heat milk to boiling point. 3 Melt butter in saucepan, add flour and cook 1 minute over low heat. Add hot milk and stir constantly over low heat with spoon or whisk until smooth and thick. 4 Allow to cool slightly. Beat egg yolks with sugar and vanilla and mix well into sauce. 5 Beat egg whites until they are stiff but not dry, fold into sauce mixture gently without losing aeration. 6 Pour the mixture into a buttered and lightly sugared 1.5 litre souffle dish (or individual dishes if you prefer), bake in preheated oven at 180C/350F for 30-40 minutes until well risen and golden. 7 Serve at once. 8 Use a very clean bowl when whipping egg whites.
