The Marmalade Souffles

Asked by: Lucy

I would like to make the Marmalade Souffles in How to Cook (Book 3), but have been unable to find the thick-cut sugar-free orange marmalade. Please advise where I can buy this ingredient. Many thanks.

Answered by Lindsey: Hello, Perhaps the product used for the original recipe is no longer available. I have seen ‘no added sugar’ marmalade and ‘reduced sugar’ marmalade that could be used instead. Kind regards Lindsey

Method

First, what you need to do is have the egg whites ready in a grease-free bowl.

Then place the marmalade in another, largish bowl and, using a fork, whisk it around to break up any lumps. After that, add a pinch of salt to the egg whites and, using an electric hand whisk, whisk them until they reach the stiff-peak stage. Now take a large kitchen spoon and first fold a spoonful of the egg whites into the marmalade to slacken the mixture, then quickly fold in the rest a spoonful at a time. Next, divide the mixture between the ramekins, piling it up as high as possible - it won't collapse.

Now place them on a baking tray in the centre of the oven and cook them for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are nicely browned. Serve immediately, but don't worry - they hold up extremely well
