Recipe tips

If you have trouble getting your egg whites to peak properly, add a drop or two of lemon juice to help strengthen the structure of the mixture.
To get your soufflés to rise, don’t overfold. Instead, gently fold in the whites until the point where the streaks of white disappear.
Use fresh, room temperature eggs. Whipping cold eggs is harder work and you won't get as much lift from them.
