Ingredients

For the soufflés
• 3 large eggs
• 2 oz (50 g) golden caster sugar and 1 level dessertspoon golden caster sugar
• grated zest and juice 1 medium lemon (2 tablespoons juice)
For the quick-method lemon curd
• grated zest and juice 1 small lemon
• 1 large egg
• 1½oz (40 g) golden caster sugar
• 1 oz (25 g) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
• 1 level teaspoon corn flour
• a little sifted icing sugar, to serve

Method

1. Pre-heat the oven to 170C/325F/Gas 3.
2. First of all make the lemon curd by lightly whisking the egg in a medium-sized saucepan, then add the rest of the lemon curd ingredients and place the saucepan over a medium heat. Now whisk continuously using a balloon whisk until the mixture thickens; this won't take long
3. When you're ready to make the soufflés, separate the eggs, putting the yolks into a medium-sized bowl and the whites into a spanking-clean larger one. Now, using an electric hand whisk, whisk the whites to the stiff-peak stage, which will take 4-5 minutes start on a slow speed, gradually increasing to medium and then high. Then add the dessertspoon of caster sugar and whisk on a high speed for 30 seconds more. Next add the zest and lemon juice and the remaining 2 oz (50 g) of sugar to the yolks and mix them together briefly. Now take a tablespoon of the whites and fold them into the yolks to loosen the mixture, and then fold the rest of the whites in using a light cutting and folding movement so as not to lose the precious air. Spoon the mixture into the prepared ramekins, piling it high like a pyramid, then run a finger round the inside rim of each one. Next place them on the baking sheet and put this in the oven on the centre shelf for 15-17 minutes or until the tops are golden. Then remove them and let them settle for about 5 minutes to allow the lemon curd to cool. Now it’s ready to serve!
