Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter your soufflé dish well.
  2. Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat until simmering, about 5 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, whisk egg yolks, sugar, flour, vanilla, and salt until smooth and creamy.
  4. Gradually whisk in hot milk to temper the egg mixture, then return to saucepan.
  5. Cook on medium heat for 3-5 minutes until thickened to custard consistency.
  6. Beat the egg whites in a clean bowl until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  7. Gently fold beaten egg whites into the cooled custard until no streaks remain.
  8. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish, smoothing the top. Leave space at the top.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes until puffed and golden brown; do not open the oven door.
  10. Serve immediately after baking for best texture; consider dusting with powdered sugar or adding berries.
