Orange Souffle. — Two sweet or- anges, juice and pulp, half a tea- spoonful of orange extract, two large or three small eggs (beaten sepa- rately), three heaping table-spoonfuls of powdered sugar, one teaspoonful of caramel, one level salt-spoonful of salt. Beat the two table-spoonfuls of sugar gradually with the whites with a Dover egg-beater. Into the well- beaten yolks put one table-spoonful of sugar and half a teaspoonful of orange extract and salt. Put two teaspoonfuls of butterOrange Soufflé into the cutlet- pan, rubbing the sides thoroughly. Reserve one-third white of egg, and put the rest in with yolks, folding and cutting in. Put over the flame while you spread the mixture in the pan ; then set over hot water, cover closely, and cook fifteen or seven- teen minutes. Do not uncover. If the water dries out of the pan, add more carefully. When the mixture is set, sprinkle the orange pulp over the top with a spoon, and add the rest of the beaten whites as a border around the edge. When that is set, lift up carefully from side of dish, and pour under the rest of the juice in which the caramel has been stirred. Serve from dish or turn out upon platter. Oyster Souffle. — Put 2 ozs. of butter into a saucepan, and set over the fire to melt; add a table-spoonful of sifted flour, stir until smooth ; thin with a gill and a half of cream and the liquor from a dozen oysters; let come to a boil, take from the fire, and season with salt, cayenne, and a tea- spoonful each of anchovy essence and lemon -juice. Have a dozen oysters cut in pieces (not chopped), and add with the yolks of two eggsOyster Soufflé ; mix well, and carefully beat in the frothed whites of two eggs. Turn into a souffle-case, cover the top with grated cracker and bits of butter ; bake in a hot oven for twenty minutes. When done, sprinkle the top with lobster coral and cayenne. Pineapple Souffl6 SOUFFLES Souffle Pudding Pineapple Souffle, Frozen. — Peel and chop into bits one large or two small pineapples, fully ripe. Lay the pulp in a deep dish, and sprinkle each layer with sugar ; then set aside for several hours. Mash and strain the fruit pulp till you have one pint of pure juice. Put it and one pint of v. ater in a double boiler, and add six eggs, well beaten, with I lb. of sugarPineapple Soufflé, Frozen. Cook all together to a soft custard ; then strain, and beat briskly till cold. Freeze very rapidly, and serve, either plain or with sweet cream, flavored with a little of the juice of the fruit. In either case, you will find the ice a most delicious one, and will be amply repaid for any trouble it entails. It is richer than sherbet and lighter than ice-cream. Potato Souffle (sometimes called potato omelet). — Stir into one cupful of cold mashed potato half a cupful of rich milk, and whip until very smooth and light. Add three well- beaten eggs, and pepper and salt to taste, and beat again, hard and swift- ly. Have ready in a frying-pan two table-spoonfuls of melted butterPotato Soufflé, and turn the potato into this and cook as you would an omelet. When it is done, turn into a very hot dish, and serve immediately. Raisin Soufflé
