Why Is It Named Soufflé?
The term “soufflé” originates from the French verb “souffler,” which translates to “to blow” or “to puff.” This dessert earns its name due to its characteristic rise or puffing up when baked.
Is Soufflé Served Hot Or Cold?
Soufflés can be served either hot or cold, with hot soufflés often hearty enough to stand alone as a main dish, while others serve as savory accompaniments to an entrée.
Does Soufflé Taste Like Custard?
The distinction led me to consider soufflés, as they are essentially a variation of custard that emphasizes egg whites and requires baking in a water bath. It’s time to try making an experimental vegetable soufflé!
