Cinnamon and Apricot Soufflés

Makes 4 servings

Butter or margarine, for greasing
All-purpose flour, for dusting
3 eggs
1/2-cup apricot fruit spread
Finely grated zest of 1/2 lemon
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus extra to decorate

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease four individual soufflé dishes and dust them lightly with flour.

Separate the eggs and place the yolks in a bowl with the fruit spread, lemon zest and cinnamon.

Beat hard until the mixture is thick and pale in color.

Place the egg whites in a grease-free bowl and beat them until they form soft peaks when the beater is lifted.

Using a metal spoon or spatula, gradually fold the egg whites evenly into the yolk mixture.

Divide the soufflé mixture among the prepared dishes and bake for 10 - 15 minutes, until well risen a golden brown.

Serve immediately, with a little extra ground cinnamon.
