Original Text
Soufflé—Chocolate. First make this chocolate mixture: Soak ½ cake of chocolate in boiling water for 1 hour; blend a little cold milk with a tablespoonful of flour. Have ready 1 pt. thin cream boiled; mix 2 teaspoonfuls of pounded sugar with the chocolate, then add the flour and milk and cream; let it boil, and pass through a tammy or sieve. Then make some “petits choux” by boiling a teacupful of water and ¼ piece of butter as large as a nutmeg; when it boils, put in flour to make a thick paste, stir it till quite smooth, then stir in 1 fresh egg, then another. Have ready a baking sheet well buttered, and drop this paste on it in small bits, and bake them in a hot oven 10 minutes. Cut out the bottom of each, fill in with chocolate mixture, put them into a soufflé dish or baking dish. Pour in the rest of the chocolate mixture, shake over a little powdered sugar, bake ½ an hour, and serve hot.
