Vanilla souffle

One of my favourite dessert! First time did it and it tasted good! But it did not look as good as store! Need to practice more!

RECIPE

Baker's tips:
For perfect souffles, always ensure you butter and sprinkle the sides of the ramekins with a  sweet or savory dusting, to give the mix "grip" as it rises. Run your finger around the top edge of the mix so that it rises straight and high, like a "top hat". Also, always bake on a preheated baking sheet.

VANILLA SOUFFLE

Ingredients:
Butter
5 tbsp. sugar
1/4 c. flour
1 1/4 c. milk
4 eggs, separated
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
Powdered sugar

Directions:

Butter bottom of a 1 1/2 quart souffle dish. Sprinkle 1 to 2 tablespoons evenly over it. In a saucepan, whisk together the flour, 2 tablespoons sugar and 1/3 cup milk. Place over medium heat. Whisk in remaining milk, stirring until mixture thickens. Remove from heat, stir in 2 tablespoons butter, lightly beaten egg yolks and vanilla; set aside.
Beat whites with cream of tartar until peaks form. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar over whites. Fold together. Spoon batter into souffle dish. Bake at 325 degrees for 50 to 55 minutes. Remove, sprinkle with sugar and serve.
