Anyway, I have been looking among blogs to search for some ways to use these beauty up. I am the type of person who likes to collect recipe books...but after blogging and blog-hopping around, I have found some really really cool blogs that have great photos of the food, and recipes (refer to my side bar for some of those blogs sites). I narrow down to two blogs that had a Meyer Lemon souffle recipes --- Aran's and Helen's. These are two amazing ladies...visit their blogs and you'll understand what I'm saying. I went with Helen's recipe since I have all the ingredients needed.
I was really excited, cos' it's my first time making souffles. I've heard so many stories about collapsed souffles. So, when I see them rising in the oven, I was very pleased. I remembered not to open the oven door, as I have read it some where, even though I was tempted to rotate the tray.
When it was done, the smell was just wonderful! I also made a raspberry sauce to go with it. I love sauces, and I had a packet of frozen raspberries in the freezer. Dump the whole bag in a small pot, cook it until they are soft and liquidy, add a couple of tablespoons of sugar (to your taste), then strain it through a fine sieve and let it cool. Then I thought about my dear friend, Diana the Smartie Pants. She was the first to respones to my previous post. I called her up to deliver her "made by me prize!!!" I hope she likes it as much as I do. =) I'm hoping to make some more tomorrow, so I can bring some to share with my neighbor, R and J. I LOVE YOU MEYER LEMONS!!! ;)
They are SO FRAGRANT, I tell ya!
by the time I took the photos, they have already collapsed a little.
I didn't wrap the paper around the remekins, so they didn't rise like those in Helen's photo.

Well done on the souffles! I just love Meyer lemons too! Oh, I don't wrap my ramequins with paper either. I really depends on the how much the meringue has already deflated when you go bake them. Some rise super high, some medium. In any case, bravo!
U R just DAMN GOOD in baking, keep it up!
yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmy!!!
