  1. Video tutorial: Making a souffle

Method

  1. Put the butter, flour and milk in a pan and cook, stirring over the heat until thickened. Stir in the cheese, in small spoonfuls, and the dill; season to taste, then beat to incorporate.
  2. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Butter 6 x 150ml soufflé dishes and line the base with baking paper. Stir the egg yolks into the sauce, add the chopped salmon and lemon. Whisk the egg whites until stiff, then carefully fold into the salmon mix. Spoon into the dishes and bake in a tin half-filled with cold water for 15 mins until risen and golden. Cool; don't worry if they sink.
  3. To freeze, cool completely, then overwrap the dishes with baking paper and foil. They will keep in the freezer for 6 weeks. Thaw for 5 hrs in the fridge.
  4. When ready to serve, very carefully turn the soufflés out of their dishes, peel off the lining paper and place on squares of baking paper. Top with the crème fraîche and bake for 10-15 mins at 200C/180C fan/gas 6 until the soufflés start to puff up. Quickly top each with a frill of salmon and a dill sprig. Serve on their own or with some dressed salad leaves.

    Was definitely NOT cooked after 15 minutes - really soggy and raw inside - and I have a relly good Bosch oven, too. Had to cook them quite a lot longer.

    Not so much a comment more of a 'don't understand'. Does overwrap dishes mean put baking paper then foil round the outside standing up like a collar or wrap them up in parcels, baking paper then foil to go in the freezer. Also when cooking before serving do they just go in the oven without any paper round, just stand on baking paper. Sorry for being such a doh! mlf

    mlf I think the dishes will have to be entirely wrapped in paper and foil befor putting them in the freezer, but I guess how well you wrap them will depend on how long they are going to be in the freezer for. If it's just a few days they won't come to much harm if you skimp on the wrapping.
