PREPARATION
FOR THE SOUFFLES
For the soufflés, pre-heat oven to 180°C. In a small pot, pour the milk, cream, sugar and vanilla bean and heat until it comes to a boil. Remove from heat. With a bowl, place the flour, small amount of sugar, egg yolks and whisk until smooth. Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the bowl and temper the eggs with the whisk. When everything is combined, pour the mixture back into the pot and under a low flame, whisk until it becomes thick. If needed, remove from heat and whisk. This should begin to become thick and smooth. Strain the crème patisserie through a fine strainer. Next, add the lemon juice and the zest of that lemon, if you would like more lemon taste, just add some more lemon zest. Strain with fine mesh strainer. Let cool slightly. Meanwhile take the egg whites and pour into a clean bowl. Start whisking until you get some froth going. Add some sugar and continue to whisk until you get medium to stiff peaks. Next step is to combine the egg whites to the custard, slowly fold in 1/3 of the egg whites. Then fold in the remaining whites, don't over fold, you will deflate the egg whites. Combine thoroughly. Next step is to take some of the soft butter and with your fingers, butter each ramekin until well coated. From there, take some sugar and twirl the sugar around the inside of the ramekin this will help the soufflés rise evenly. Pour the mixture into each ramekin, not to the top, next with your thumb, go around the inside of the ramekin slightly. This method will allow the soufflés to rise like a top hat. Place the soufflés on a baking sheet and bake for 13-15 minutes. Or as soon as you see the soufflés rise and brown slightly on top. When ready, remove from oven, and with a small strainer, dust, each soufflé with the icing sugar. Serve with the raspberry coulis on the side.
