8 egg whites 8 egg whites
dash salt dash salt
5 tbsp powdered sugar 5 tbsp powdered sugar
4 egg yolks 4 egg yolks
3 tbsp all-purpose flour 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tbsp melted butter or margarine 1 tbsp melted butter or margarine
1 tbsp granulated sugar 1 tbsp granulated sugar

Separate eggs carefully so egg yolks do not mix with egg whites. Egg whites mixed with even a fraction of egg yolk cannot be beaten beaten to stiff peaks.
In a large bowl, beat egg whites with salt until very stiff peaks form.
Add powdered sugar a little bit at a time and continue beating.
Carefully fold in egg yolks, one at a time. Sift flour on top of mixture and fold in with a few strokes.
Pour melted butter into a 2-inch deep souffle dish. Sprinkle granulated sugar over butter.
Carefully spoon in souffle mixture, making three "mountain peaks". Bake at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes or until lightly browned on top.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve immediately.
