Steps:
- Melt the 4 Tablespoons of butter and the chopped chocolate together in a double boiler or in a large heatproof bowl in the microwave. Microwave in 20 second increments, stirring after each until completely melted and combined. Slightly cool for 3-5 minutes.
- Whisk egg yolks, vanilla extract, and salt into chocolate mixture. Set aside.
- In a completely clean residue-free medium glass or metal mixing bowl, using a handheld mixer or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar together on high speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. With the mixer running on high speed, slowly add the sugar in 3 additions about 1 Tablespoon at a time, beating for 5 seconds before adding the next Tablespoon. After all 3 Tablespoons of sugar have been added, beat until stiff glossy peaks form, about 2 more minutes. Do not over-beat.
- Slowly and gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture. It's best to do this in 3 separate additions, combining each addition completely before folding in more.
- Refrigerate the batter for 5-10 minutes as you preheat the oven and prepare the ramekins. (No need to cover the batter unless you are refrigerating it for longer than 1 hour. Can be made up to 2 days in advance, see make ahead instructions below.)
- Adjust the oven rack to the lower third position and preheat to 400°F (204°C).
- Brush four 6-ounce oven-safe straight sided ramekins with a generous coating of the softened butter. Sprinkle in the granulated sugar, then shake/rotate each to ensure every spot of the ramekin has a sugar coating. Place ramekins on a baking sheet. Discard excess sugar.
- Spoon batter evenly into ramekins. Using a knife or icing spatula, smooth down the surface. Run a knife, icing spatula, or your thumb around the rim at the top, creating a "channel" between the batter and the rim of your pan. Feel free to wipe the edges clean with a towel, though I don't always do that and don't notice a difference in appearance or rise.
- Place baking sheet with ramekins on top in the oven. Immediately reduce oven temperature to 375°F (191°C). Bake for 13-14 minutes or until the edges are set and the center just barely jiggles when you give the pan a light tap. Avoid opening/closing the oven too much.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately plain or with optional toppings. Soufflés begin to fall within minutes. You'll still have that sponge-like texture underneath a crackly top, though it settles into a denser texture as time passes. Cover and store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Brush bottom and sides of 2 (5-ounce) ramekins lightly with 1 teaspoon melted butter; cover bottom and sides right up to the rim. Add 1 tablespoon white sugar to ramekins. Rotate ramekins until sugar coats all surfaces. Pour off extra sugar.
- Place chocolate pieces in a metal mixing bowl. Place bowl over a pan of about 3 cups hot water over low heat. Do not let water boil or come to a simmer.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle in flour. Whisk until flour is incorporated into butter and mixture thickens, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to low. Whisk in cold milk until mixture becomes smooth and thickens, 2 or 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat. Transfer mixture to bowl with melted chocolate. Add salt and very small pinch of cayenne pepper. Mix together thoroughly. Add egg yolk and mix to combine. Leave bowl above the hot (not simmering) water to keep chocolate warm while you whip the egg whites.
- Place 2 egg whites in a mixing bowl; add cream of tartar. Whisk until mixture begins to thicken and a drizzle from the whisk stays on the surface about 1 second before disappearing into the mix, 2 or 3 minutes. Add 1/3 of sugar and whisk in. Whisk in a bit more sugar about 15 seconds; whisk in the rest of the sugar. Continue whisking until mixture is about as thick as shaving cream and holds soft peaks, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Transfer a little less than half of egg whites to chocolate. Mix until egg whites are thoroughly incorporated into the chocolate, 1 or 2 minutes. Add the rest of the egg whites; gently fold into the chocolate with a spatula, lifting from the bottom and folding over. Stop mixing after the egg white disappears. Divide mixture between 2 prepared ramekins. Place ramekins on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in preheated oven until scuffles are puffed and have risen above the top of the rims, 12 to 15 minutes.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7 and place a baking tray on the top shelf. For the sauce, heat the cream and sugar until boiling. Remove from the heat, stir in the chocolate and butter until melted, then keep warm.
- Brush 6 x 150ml ramekins with melted butter, sprinkle with the 2 tbsp caster sugar, then tip out any excess. Melt the chocolate and cream in a bowl over a pan of simmering water, cool, then mix in the egg yolks. Whisk the egg whites until they hold their shape, then add the sugar, 1 tbsp at a time, whisking back to the same consistency. Mix a spoonful into the chocolate, then gently fold in the rest.
- Working quickly, fill the ramekins, wipe the rims clean and run your thumb around the edges. Turn oven down to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6, place the ramekins onto the baking tray, then bake for 8-10 mins until risen with a slight wobble. Don't open the oven door too early as this may make them collapse.
- Once the soufflés are ready, dust with icing sugar, scoop a small hole from their tops, then pour in some of the hot chocolate sauce. Replace the lids and serve straight away.

- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Place a baking sheet inside the oven on the bottom rack to preheat with the oven. Brush softened butter along the entire interior of 4 ramekins, or spray the entire interior with baking spray. Sprinkle granulated sugar all along the inside of each ramekin.
- Place a medium, heatproof bowl over a small saucepan containing a little bit of simmering water (you're essentially creating a double boiler by doing this). The water should not come in contact with the bottom of the bowl. Place the chocolate in the medium bowl and allow it to completely melt - about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the bowl and set it on the counter to cool.
- Meanwhile, add the egg whites to the bowl of a stand mixer. Whisk on high speed until the whites have lost their yellow tint and are foamy. At this point, begin sprinkling in the remaining 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar into the egg whites as they continue to whisk on high speed. The whites should be whisked until they're firm, can hold their shape and not slip off the whisk when the whisk is held upside down, but still soft enough where the tip of the egg whites slightly curl (like the tip of soft serve ice cream). Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar together until thick and pale. You want the batter to drop from the whisk in a ribbon-like fashion. Temporarily set aside.

- Preheat the oven to 170° Celsius with a baking tray on the middle shelf (this is important so that the Soufflés can get a kick start when you put them in the oven, and to make getting them out easier)
- sprinkle the cocoa into the dishes and rotate until the butter is completely coated, shake out the excess
- over a bain-marie mix together the pastry cream, Cointreau and zest and keep it warm (I left the stove on 1 and use a bigger bowl than you think you need!)

- Set the oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Brush soft butter on the bottom and sides of 6 (8 ounce/1 cup) ramekins and dust the insides with about 1 teaspoon each of sugar, rotating to ensure the entire interior is evenly coated, and knocking out any excess.
- Add the egg whites to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat for about 3 to 4 minutes on medium speed (#6 on a Kitchenaid mixer) until frothy but not stiff. Next, add the sugar and continue beating for about 5 to 6 minutes on medium speed, until you achieve glossy stiff peaks.
- Add chopped chocolate to a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Make sure the bowl does not touch the simmering water below. Heat until the chocolate in the bowl melts, stirring occasionally, and then turn off the heat but leave the bowl over the water to keep it hot/melted.
- Meanwhile, place the egg yolks in a large mixing bowl and set it beside the stove. Whisk together the milk and potato starch (or cornstarch) in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat and bring to a bubble, whisking continuously until thickened, about 10 minutes from start to finish. Slowly whisk the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks about a tablespoon at a time to ensure you don't cook the eggs. Whisk until smooth.
