About the dish

Erken stresses that the soufflé must be served the moment it comes out of the oven.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Cook the base

    Stir potato flour and milk together in a pan, add butter and salt and cook until the mixture sets.

  2. 2

    Stir in cheese and eggs

    Stir in the cheese and egg yolks, continuing to stir. Finally fold in the stiffly whisked egg whites.

  3. 3

    Fill the moulds

    Divide the mixture among small greased porcelain moulds, or small paper cases greased with butter and dusted with rusk crumbs.

  4. 4

    Bake and serve

    Bake in a good hot oven (about 200 C) for 15-20 minutes. Serve at once, arranged on a dish lined with a napkin or cake paper.

Changes from the original

Old measures converted to dl; 'potetesmel' read as potato flour. 'Good hot oven' interpreted as about 200 C. The eggs are split into yolks and whites as the method describes.
