The history of soufflés can be traced back to 18th-century France, where they were originally served as a savory dish made with cheese and other ingredients. It wasn't until the 19th century that sweet soufflés gained popularity, thanks in part to the famous French chef Marie-Antoine Carême. He is credited with refining the technique for making soufflés by using a base of flour, butter, and milk, and separating the egg yolks and whites for a lighter, fluffier texture. Soufflés became a staple of French cuisine and can now be found in various forms all around the world, from classic cheese and chocolate to more unconventional flavors like pumpkin and green tea. Despite their delicate nature and reputation for being tricky to master, soufflés remain a beloved dessert and a symbol of French culinary excellence.

Ingredients
Instructions
- This recipe is incredibly simple; just place all of the ingredients except for the butter directly into a food blender and blend until everything is smooth and luscious. You can also use a hand whisk if you don't have a blender.
- You can also make this ahead the day prior and pop the entire batter into the fridge before baking the next day.
- Place 6, 6-8 ounce sized ramekins onto a baking sheet and add 14 grams of cold butter into the bottom of each one. 14 grams is a tablespoon, so I eyeballed the butter into the bottom of each one instead of measuring. You can't go wrong!
- Place the ramekins into a cold oven and turn it on to 400°F. The butter will slowly melt and caramelize as the oven warms up. When the butter smells nutty like toffee, it is time to pour it into the batter.
- Carefully pour the batter into each ramekin until it reaches close to the top of each one. Using a container with a spout is most straightforward for this step, and I use the blender container to mix the batter. It is nice and thin and pours out easily.
- Close the oven door and let them bake for exactly 25 minutes.
- After 25 minutes, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two before serving. Presentation-wise, these are best served immediately before they deflate, but they are so good straight cold and out of the fridge!
- Top with your favorite syrups, fruit, or anything you fancy! The custardy texture and vanilla flavor pair so well with many toppings.
Notes
Flour: I love using einkorn flour for this recipe due to its many health benefits and flavor, but all-purpose or pastry flour will work great!
