INSTRUCTIONS
Place rack in middle of oven and preheat oven to 400°. Butter well the
sides and bottom of 2 (12-oz) souffl. bowls. Sprinkle them with sugar,
dumping out the excess sugar. Measure and mix together the cornstarch, 1/4
cup sugar and salt. Place the butter and milk in a heavy saucepan and while
still cold, stir in the above dry ingredients and the grated orange rind.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wire whip
until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and thoroughly stir in the egg
yolks and the Grand Marnier. Beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar
until limp. Add 2 Tablespoons sugar and continue beating at high speed to
develop a good meringue. Take half of the beaten egg whites and, using a
rubber spatula, stir them into the sauce to lighten it. Give the remaining
egg whites several good whips and then fold them into the lightened sauce.
Do not overfold as you will deflate the mixture. Divide the mixture between
the prepared bowls. (At this point, you may delay baking the souffl.s for
up to 30 minutes). Place the souffl.s in the preheated oven and cook for 15
minutes. Serve immediately. Yield: 2 generous servings.
