This souffle (aka pudding; perhaps a nod to Euro cooking?) was my "star" of the dinner show on Christmas Day. Delicate and delicious, it was a perfect accompaniment to prime rib. I thought that 6 onions might be a little over the top, but they caramelized down into a reasonable quantity and made the batter a beautiful golden color. Although I am surprised there were left overs, I was glad, because it was great the next morning for breakfast. Served with sausage or bacon, fresh fruit and a croissant, it could definitely showcase at a special brunch just as easily as at a main event. I will never go back to Yorkshire Pudding; this was simply fabulous!
