The Soufflé recipe (Whitney)

French Soufflé 

Imagine yourself in France, and now you want to eat something sweet.
What would you choose?
For me, I would definitely go for the Soufflé! (っ◔◡◔)っ ❤

The soufflé was first introduced in 1742 but popularized in the early nineteenth century when the recipe was published in the 1814 cookbook Le Pâtissier Royal Parisien by the famous French chef Marie-Antoine Carême. It comes in both sweet and savory varieties. The name soufflé comes from the French verb souffler, which means to blow up or puff up. This exactly describes what happens when a soufflé is baked.

Look at the image of soufflé, it puffs high and seems that it tastes heavenly and cloud-like. Feeling mouth-watering?

Let's follow the steps and bake one to sweeten up the day.
