How to Make Mini Lemon Soufflés
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Butter four 6-ounce ramekins generously and dust with granulated sugar.
  3. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then let it cool slightly.
  4. Whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt until smooth.
  5. Combine the melted butter with the egg yolk mixture, whisking continuously.
  6. Beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
  7. Gradually add remaining granulated sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
  8. Fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the lemon mixture, then fold in the remaining egg whites.
  9. Divide the soufflé mixture among the greased ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full.
  10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until puffed and lightly golden.
  11. Cool slightly, dust with powdered sugar before serving, and enjoy warm.
