    This is quite a simple foolproof recipe as souffle recipes go. It would be great for a souffle vigin to try. It tasted nice but was a little dry even though I cooked it for barely ten minutes, needed a big dollop of cream.

    What does it mean "butter and sugar the cups"? Does it mean butter it like you would to grease a tin but with sugar mixed in as well? Thanks x

    Well in the end I just buttered them, and it didn't stick too much! Was quite nice, but a little dry, with a bit of leftover double cream poured in they were fab! Probably could have cooked them for less time, but it was my first attempt at soufflé so quite pleased overall! Could have been a bit more chocolatey maybe.

    Such a great recipe for a first-soufflé-timer!! Did this last night for Valentine's day and my husband was really impressed! I used dark chocolate and it was a little bitter so next time would use half milk and half dark and try putting some tiny flecks of raspberry in. I cooked for 10minutes and think 30 seconds less would have been perfect!

    I think butter and sugar means you butter them as in grease them with butter then cover with sugar (sprinkle in, slosh it round then tip it out to coat sides where buttered).
