Cook Time: 35 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (4 Tablespoons or 1/2 stick) butter, melted and cooled
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1-1/3 cups milk
- 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt

Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease an 8-cup souffle dish with butter. Set aside.
Whisk together butter, flour, milk, and salt in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
Beat yolks with sugar, vanilla, and Grand Marnier® until smooth and slightly thickened. While constantly whisking, slowly blend in 1/4 cup of the milk mixture until blended. Continue whisking and blend in the remainder of the milk mixture in a slow, steady stream until combined.
Beat egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. Fold into the egg yolk mixture. Pour into prepared pan. Bake 35 to 40 minutes until puffed and golden. Serve immediately. (Souffle will fall if held long.)
