DS got this recipe from Nick Stellino's pbs show in the early 90's. Jon made it as part of an anniversary dinner he made for dh and I. It was funny watching Jon run from the living room to watch a portion of the show he taped and then back to the kitchen to work on the meal. I will post the rest of the recipes too. They are very good.

Lemon Souffl

NOTE: Must be made and served the same day.

1/2 c Half n Half
3 T Flour
1/4 c Lemon Juice
2 tsp Grated Lemon Zest
1/2 c Sugar
6 Egg Whites, at Room Temperature
4 Egg Yolks
1/2 tsp Vanilla
Pinch of Salt
1 T Powdered Sugar

Butter bottom and sides of 6- or 8-cup souffl dish then coat with sugar.

In saucepan, over low heat, pour half n half and flour. Stir until a uniform mix. Add in sugar, lemon juice, and zest. Stir for 5 minutes until glossy yellow.
Set aside to cool. When cool, add egg yolks with spatula, stirring to incorporate.
Add vanilla. Stir.

*****To make souffl ahead of time, stop at this point.*******

Preheat oven to 400F

In bowl, whip egg whites until stiff, but not dry. Mix egg whites in a little at
a time - going underneath and up. You will know it is mixed well when you
see no egg whites.

Pour into prepared souffl dish. Bang down.

Bake for 10 minutes at 400, then reduce oven temperature to 350F. Bake additional 20 minutes.
