Ooo, that looks bonkers good! *CHOMP* It's... It's so... *sniff* I-its so good, I'm gonna CRY! *sniff* Yaaaay! If it makes you that happy, it means all the work was worth it. Um...do you have any more? Lemme see... Nope! You just ate the last bite. Aw, boo! I wanted more. Like, a LOT more. It's actually sort of embarrassing how much of that I'm ready to horf down. Well then, I'll teach you how to MAKE one! I can do that 'cause I'm a grown-up now. That way, you can have soufflé whenever you want! You'd really do that for me? Sure! Teaching stuff is easy when you're all adult-y like me. Well, can I at least help? I mean, I don't really know much about baking, so I might just get in the way, but I promise to try my best. Sure! We'll do it together! Oh yay! Just tell me what to do, okay? We're gonna make the best soufflé ever!

Eggs, butter, sugar... Yep! That's all we need! Mmm-hmm, yep! Got it. So what do we do first? First, you separate the egg whites from the yolks. Then you add a tablespoon of sugar to the yolks and mix, mix, mix until it all starts to turn white! Huh, okay. So what do we do with the whites? Hang on, I'll do it! You just...um... put some sugar in there, maybe? All right. How much? One...tablespoon? Yeah! A tablespoon! Then mix, mix, mix until it gets foamy! Umm...? Er, it's not getting foamy. J-just hang on! I'm pretty sure that when my granny made it, she... Ack! Okay, I don't actually know anymore, so let's just mix everything together! That sounds like a terrible idea! EEEK! ...... Wow, you mixed so hard you knocked the bowl off the counter! Are you okay? ...I'm sorry. For what? I'm sorry I couldn't teach you how to make a soufflé. I'm a bad grown-up. *sniff* *sniff* Huh? Why are YOU crying? *sniff* 'Cause I should be like your big sister, but you're always teaching ME how to make stuff... All I do is slow you down. *sniff* I'm the opposite of help. I'm pleh! You always *sniff* work so hard, and I didn't even notice you were struggling. *sob* Nooo, don't cry! It's fine! L-look, I can see how grateful you are! *sniff* I'm s-sorry, Maribelle. Let's try the soufflé again, okay? I promise to be helpful this time. Okay. Thanks, Serena! Honestly, I was just overthinking everything and sort of panicked. That's why the recipe didn't work. And actually, all this has reminded me of when my granny taught me to bake. She always went reeeeally slow, and showed me what she was doing one step at a time. I should have used your help instead of trying to do everything! That's why it all ended up a big gloopy mess. So let's try it again!

The first step was separating the egg whites and the yolks, right? Yep! And then we stir each of 'em all up. The reason the whites didn't foam was because we put the sugar in too early. We'll be fine so long as we don't panic and do everything in order. Hey, look! It's fluffy!

---

Now we pour the batter into the pan... and the last thing is the magic trick my granny taught me—we tap the bottom of the pan juuust once! Hee! This is fun! Then we bake it...and it's done! I'm so excited, I'm gonna POP!

Our soufflé is finished! Ooo, the outside looks perfect... *sniff* And it smells delicious! I gotta have some right now! All right, on three. Ooone...twoooo... CHOW DOOOOWN! ...... Blech! It's totally underdone... Yeah, but it's STILL good! *sniff* Oh man, here come the waterworks... Wait, really? *sniff* D-don't YOU think it's good? Heck yeah! It's SUPER good! Let's make it again sometime! Yeah! We'll just keep baking until we get this recipe PERFECT! Thanks, Serena!
