How does the temperature of egg white affect the fluffiness of souffle? (Cathy Tsang)



Figure 1: Souffle made by myself

Introduction:

Souffle, a traditional French dessert, palatable for its fluffiness and sweetness. However, its devil high content of butter and sugar discourage dieters like you and me from taking a bite of it. Now, this low sugar souffle, undoubtedly, is the one you should go for!

How does the amount of sugar added to egg white affect the height of Soufflé? (Kristy)

Soufflé is a lightly baked cake with a combination of egg yolks and a soft peak meringue, made out of egg white and sugar (So Soufflé).  The first recorded recipe of soufflé appeared in a French chef's cookbook -- Vincent La Chapelle’s Le Cuisinier Moderne in 1742 (Mobile Cuisine). It is one of the representational dishes in French cuisine and it can be both a savory main dish or a dessert (Aftabchloe). In French, the word soufflé is the past participle of the French word soufflér, which means to ‘blow up’ or 'puff up' (Mobile Cuisine).
