Instructions: Servings: 6 - 8

DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 400-F.

Melt the butter and add the flour. Add the milk gradually stirring with a wire whisk to make a thick smooth sauce. Add the sugar and vanilla. Remove from the heat and add the egg yolks one at a time. Beat the egg whites, with a pinch of salt and the cream of tartar, until stiff. Fold the slightly cooled sauce into the egg whites. Spoon into a prepared 6 cup souffle dish.

Place the souffle in the oven and immediately reduce the heat to 375-F. Bake for 25 minutes.

Bring the souffle to the table, make a well in the middle of the souffle by plunging a spoon and fork into it and spreading it apart. Pour the flaming liqueur into the center.

NOTE: Heat the liqueur before lighting it.

Serve with whipped cream.
