1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp. granulated sugar |

1/4 cup all-purpose flour |
| • |
8 oz. milk |
| • |
1/2 tsp. vanilla |

|
| Method: |
| 1. |
In a medium bowl whisk together egg yolks and the 1/4 cup sugar until blended. Whisk in flour. |
| 2. |
In a small saucepan bring milk to a boil over medium heat. Gradually whisk the hot milk into the yolk mixture. |
| 3. |
Return mixture to saucepan; cook over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes or until very thick, whisking constantly. |
| 4. |
Transfer mixture to a bowl; stir in vanilla. Cool to room temperature. Recipe can be prepared a day ahead to this point. Place plastic wrap directly over surface of mixture and refrigerate. |
| 5. |
Preheat oven to 450° F. Lightly butter six 2/3 cup individual soufflé dishes. Coat dishes with granulated sugar, tapping out excess. Set aside. |
| 6. |
Stir the Blackberry puree into the egg yolk mixture. In a large bowl beat egg whites on high speed of electric mixer to soft peaks. Gradually add the 2 tbsp. granulated sugar, beating to stiff peaks. Fold egg whites, 1/3 at a time, into Blackberry mixture until no traces of white remain (do not stir). |
| 7. |
Carefully spoon mixture into prepared soufflé dishes, filling them nearly full. Arrange dishes in a large baking pan. |
| 8. |
Fill pan with enough hot water to come halfway up sides of dishes. Bake about 15 minutes or until soufflés rise and turn golden brown on top. |
|
