INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE QUICK METHOD LEMON C
TO SERVE
four lightly buttered ramekins with a base diameter of 2 1/2"/6cm, top
diameter of 3"/7.5cm and 2"/5cm deep small solid baking sheet
Preheat oven to 170c/325f/Gas 3.
1 For the Lemon Curd: Lightly whisk the egg in a medium sized saucepan. Add
the rest of the lemon curd ingredients and place the saucepan over a medium
heat.
2 Whisk continously using a balloon whisk until the mixture thickens - this
won't take long, about three minutes in all. Lower the heat to its minimum
setting and gently simmer for a minute, continuing to whisk.
3 After that, remove from the heat and divide the curd between the bases of
the ramekins. (This can be done well in advance, but cover and leave at
room temperature).
4 When ready to make the souffles, separate the eggs, putting the yolks
into a medium sized bowl and the whites into a clean larger one.
5 Whisk the whites to the stiff peak stage, with an electric hand whisk
which will take 4-5 minutes. Start on a slow speed and gradually increase
to medium and then high.
6 Add the dsp caster sugar and whisk on a high speed for 30 seconds more.
Add the zest and lemon juice and remaining 2oz/50g sugar to the yolks and
mix together briefly.
7 Take 1 tbsp whites and fold into the yolks to loosen the mixture. Then
fold the rest of the whites in using a light cutting and folding movement,
so as not to lose the air.
8 Spoon the mixture into the prepared ramekins, piling high like a pyramid.
Run a finger round the inside rim of each one.
9 Place on the baking sheet and put in the oven on the centre shelf for
15-17 minutes or until the tops are golden.
10 Remove them and let settle for about five minutes to allow the lemon
curd to cool. They will sink a little, but that's normal. Before serving,
place on smaller plates and give a light dusting of icing sugar.
