Make Lemon Mixture:
- In a heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 1/2 cup of butter.
- Add 3/4 cup of sugar and stir until the mixture is opaque, which takes about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest.
- Whisk in the egg yolks.
- Cook the mixture over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens and a thermometer registers 180°F (82°C), which usually takes about 12 minutes. Be careful not to let it boil.
- Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and let it cool to room temperature, approximately 30 minutes.
-
Prepare Egg Whites:
- Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites in another large bowl until stiff peaks form but they are not dry.
-
Combine Mixtures:
- Fold 1/4 of the beaten egg whites into the lemon mixture to lighten it.
- Carefully fold in the remaining beaten egg whites until just combined.
-
Bake:
- Divide the souffle mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins.
- Place the filled ramekins in a large roasting pan.
- Fill the pan with enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
- Bake the souffles until they are golden brown on top, approximately 14 minutes.
-
Serve:
- Using tongs for assistance, remove the souffles from the water bath and serve immediately.

Tips:
- Make sure the egg whites are beaten to stiff peaks but not overbeaten, as this can affect the texture of the souffles.
- When folding the egg whites into the lemon mixture, do it gently to avoid deflating the mixture.
- Serve the souffles immediately after baking for the best texture and presentation.
