Grand Marnier Crepe Souffle Recipes

Steps:

• Set an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 4-cup souffle dish (the souffle won't rise as tall if using a larger dish) with 1 tbsp of the butter and dust it with granulated sugar, tapping out any excess. Prepare a collar for the souffle dish by buttering one side of a long 4-inch-wide strip of parchment paper with 1 tbsp butter, then dust it with some granulated sugar. Wrap the prepared side of the parchment paper around the outside of the souffle dish and tie it in place with kitchen string. It should rise above the rim of the dish by about 3 inches. Set the dish aside.
• In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, mix the orange rind with 7 tbsp of the granulated sugar, off the heat. Stir in the flour. Add the milk, stirring until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, and cook until thick, about a minute.
• Continue to cook over medium heat until the mixture has thickened. Remove from the heat.
• In a standing mixer fitted with a balloon whisk attachment, whip the egg whites and pinch of salt on low speed, to form small bubbles. Gradually increase to medium speed, and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar. Increase to high speed and whip until stiff, but not dry, peaks form.To the flour mixture, whisk in the egg yolks, one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
• Add the egg yolk mixture to a large mixing bowl, and whisk in the Grand Marnier, vanilla extract, and remaining 2 tbsp butter until smooth.Gently fold together the egg whites and yolk base, adding a third at a time, until all is incorporated.Pour the batter into the prepared dish, and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
• Remove the souffle from the oven, discard the paper collar, dust with powdered sugar, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Brush the insides of 2 (8-ounce) ramekins with 1 tablespoon melted butter and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar. Place on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter and 2 teaspoons butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; cook and stir flour in the melted butter until golden brown and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Pour in milk and cook, stirring continuously, until smooth and thick, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a mixing bowl.
• Stir orange zest and 1 tablespoon brandy-based orange liqueur into butter mixture until combined. Add egg yolks and 1/8 teaspoon vanilla; mix until smooth.
• Whisk egg whites in a large bowl until frothy. Slowly add half the 1/4 cup sugar and whisk until combined; add remaining sugar and continue to whisk until meringue is thick and holds it shape, but is not stiff.
• Fold half the meringue into egg yolk mixture until combined. Gently fold in second half until well mixed. Transfer to the prepared ramekins, allowing 1/4-inch of space at the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until risen and browned, 16 minutes.

Steps:

• For the soufflé base: In a small saucepan, combine the flour and sugar. In another small pan, bring the milk to a simmer. Slowly add the hot milk to the flour mixture, whisking until smooth. Place over medium heat and stir until the mixture simmers and thickens. Stir in the butter, then the egg yolks, one at a time, then the Grand Marnier. Remove from heat and stir in almonds or candied orange or ginger, if using. Allow to cool.
• For finishing: Heat oven to 425 degrees. Butter the interiors and outer rims of four 8-ounce soufflé dishes. Generously sprinkle the buttered areas with sugar, tapping out any excess. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites to soft peaks, then gradually beat in the sugar. Continue to beat just until the whites are stiff but not dry; do not overbeat. Fold a large spoonful of the beaten whites into the soufflé base, then fold the base into the remaining whites just until blended.
• Divide the mixture among the prepared dishes, filling to about 1/4 inch from the top. Run a knife around the inside edge of each dish to about halfway down to release the batter from the side of the dish.
• Place the dishes in a small baking pan, and add enough hot water to the pan to come about 1/4 inch up the side of the dishes. Bake until the soufflés are well risen and lightly browned, about 13 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Rub the butter on the bottom and sides of four 1-cup souffle dishes. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar over the insides of the souffle dishes.
• Place the egg yolks in a bowl and add 1/2 cup sugar, the orange rind and the Grand Marnier. Beat briskly until well blended.
• In a large, deep bowl, preferably copper, beat the egg whites until stiff. Toward the end, beat in the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. (You can use an electric stand mixer, but keep an eye on the egg whites. They should not be too stiff.)
• Spoon the egg-yolk mixture into the whites, folding in rapidly. Place equal portions of the mixture in the prepared souffle dishes.
• Put the dishes on a baking sheet, and place on the bottom of the oven. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Generously butter eight 1-cup (3 1/2 x 2-inch) ramekins and coat with sugar, knocking out excess sugar.
• In a 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan melt 3/4 stick butter over moderately low heat and whisk in flour. Cook roux, whisking, 3 minutes. Add milk and cook over moderate heat, whisking, until mixture is very thick and pulls away from sides of pan. Transfer mixture to a bowl and cool 5 minutes. In a large bowl whisk together yolks, vanilla, oil, and a pinch salt, and whisk in milk mixture and Grand Marnier, whisking until smooth.
• In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat whites until they hold soft peaks. Beat in 1 cup sugar, a little at a time, and beat meringue until it just holds stiff peaks. Whisk about one fourth meringue into yolk mixture to lighten and with a rubber spatula fold in remaining meringue gently but thoroughly.
• Spoon batter into ramekins, filling them just to rim, and arrange ramekins at least 1 1/2 inches apart in a large baking pan. Add enough hot water to pan to reach halfway up sides of ramekins and bake soufflés in middle of oven 20 minutes, or until puffed and tops are golden.
• Remove pan from oven and transfer ramekins to dessert plates. With 2 forks pull open center of each soufflé and pour some crème anglaise into opening.
• Serve souffl s immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425º. Move an oven rack to the lower third of the oven.
• Coat the inside of an 8-cup souffle dish with 2 tablespoons of butter. Add 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and roll it around the inside of the dish to coat. Discard the remaining sugar and set the dish aside.
• In a small saucepan, heat the milk, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and the orange zest until the mixture steams. Remove from heat and set aside.
• While the milk is warming up, heat a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Let the butter melt, then add the flour and salt and cook, stirring, until the mixture is foamy, about 2 minutes. With the saucepan still over the heat, whisk the flour mixture and add the hot milk all at once. Whisk until the mixture becomes thick and velvety, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large bowl. Let the mixture cool for 5 minutes. This is the base for your souffle.
• Whisk the egg yolks, one at a time, into the souffle base. Add the Grand Marnier and set aside.
• Using a mixer set on medium speed, beat the 7 egg whites until they are foamy. Turn the speed to high. When the whites form soft peaks, add the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar slowly. Continue to beat on high speed for 1 minute. The whites should become glossy and firm.
• To assemble the souffle, add one-fourth of the egg whites to the souffle base. using a large flat spatula, gently turn and fold the souffle base up and over the top of the egg whites to lighten the mixture. Add half the remaining egg whites and fold, leaving some streaks of white. Then add the remaining egg whites and gently fold them in completely. Be careful not to overmix or the whites will deflate, leaving you with an under-risen souffle. The secret to success here is in folding until each addition of egg whites is almost incorporated, then adding the next batch and so on until all the whites are incorporated.
• Gently transfer the souffle batter into the prepared dish and flatten the top with a spatula. Run a finger or spoon around the edge of the souffle, leaving a trough about 1/2-inch deep. This will allow the souffle to rise even higher.
• Put the souffle in the oven and immediately turn the heat down to 375º. Bake for 20 minutes, then pull out the oven rack, and carefully dust the souffle with the confectioner's sugar. Gently push the rack back into the oven and close the door. (Don't over worry about a stray noise or bump affecting your souffle. They are much hardier than you think.) Check the souflle after 15 minutes and gently jiggle it. If it moves slightly in the center the souffle is done. If it is loose on the edges, bake for another 5 minutes. It should be brown and crusty on top.
• Remove the souffle from the oven and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Brush 2 tall ramekins with melted butter. Press brown sugar gently into all sides of the ramekins. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• In a small saucepan, bring ¾ cup of the milk and the vanilla to the boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and set aside.
• In a small bowl, blend the cornstarch and the remaining ¼ cup milk until smooth. Add ¼ cup of the sugar, 2 egg yolks and salt. Stir until smooth.
• Gradually whisk this mixture into the warm milk. Cook over medium-low heat stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, approximately 4 minutes.
• Remove from heat and cool in refrigerator or freezer until slightly chilled, about 10 minutes.
• Beat in remaining 2 yolks. Using a sifter, sift flour over mixture and stir well.
• Return to medium heat and stir constantly until smooth. Remove from heat. Add liqueur and orange zest.
• Scrape custard into a large bowl and set aside to cool until ready to prepare soufflés.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Beat whites until soft peaks form.
• Gradually add remaining sugar and beat until firm peaks form. Fold whites into cooled custard.
• Spoon mixture into the ramekins leaving about ½ to 1 inch head space.
• Bake for 20 minutes until puffed and browned on top.
• Serve immediately.
