- Bring the milk to a boil. In a different pan over a medium heat melt the butter, add the flour and cook without browning until the mixture begins to bubble.

Tips:
- To ensure your soufflés rise properly, make sure your egg whites are at room temperature and beaten until stiff peaks form.
- Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in a deflated soufflé.
- Bake the soufflés immediately after mixing the batter, as they will start to deflate if they sit for too long.
- Serve the soufflés as soon as they are cooked, as they will begin to deflate after a few minutes.
- For the best flavor, use high-quality ingredients, such as fresh herbs, cheese, and bacon.
