Serves 2| Hands-On Time: 15m | Total Time: 45m

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons flour
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons orange liqueur, such as Grand Marnier
  • 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
  • egg yolks
  • egg whites
  • pinch salt
  • pinch cream of tartar

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 375° F. Grease one 16-ounce or two 8-ounce ramekins with 1 tablespoon of butter. Coat with 1 tablespoon sugar, then tap out the excess. Set aside.
  2. Melt the remaining butter in a large saucepan over medium heat and whisk in the flour. Blend in the milk and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce boils, 1 minute. Remove from heat. Blend in the liqueur and zest. Whisk in the egg yolks one at a time. Set aside. (Recipe can be made to this point up to 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
  3. Beat the egg whites, salt, cream of tartar, and remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar until stiff (but not dry) peaks form. Pour the sauce into the whites; gently fold together. Spoon into ramekins.
  4. Bake until puffed and browned, 40 minutes for a 16-ounce soufflé, 20 minutes for two smaller ones.
  5. Serve immediately with Custard Sauce: poke a small hole in the crust of the souffle and pour sauce inside.

    Turnips

    Although the turnip has been grown for more than 4,000 years and was one of the first foods to be cultivated in Europe, it is currently underappreciated: It keeps well, takes to almost any cooking method, and has a subtly flavored, tasty flesh.
