Ingredients

30 gram butter

1/4 cup caster sugar, plus extra for sprinkling

1 lemon and 1 lime, finely grated zest

2 tablespoon plain flour

1 tablespoon citrus juice

1 cup milk

2 eggs, separated

2 egg-whites, extra

icing sugar, for dusting

Method

1.Preheat oven to moderately hot, 190°C. Lightly grease 4 x 3/4-cup souffle dishes and sprinkle with a little caster sugar. Arrange on an oven tray.

2.In a bowl, beat butter and sugar together with zest until creamy. Stir in flour and juice.

3.Heat milk in a saucepan until it reaches boiling point. Whisk into butter mixture. Stir over a low heat until the mixture boils and thickens. Beat in yolks and allow to cool slightly.

4.In a clean bowl, beat egg-whites until soft peaks form. Fold lightly into citrus mixture. Spoon into souffle dishes.

5.Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until puffed and golden. Dust with icing sugar and serve immediately.

Citrus juice may be lemon, orange, lime, grapefruit or a combination. It is a good idea to have the souffle ready to the end of step 3 and then finish off and bake 20 minutes before you want to serve.
