6 tablespoons butter or margarine
2/3 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded (6 oz.)
1 teaspoon lemon juice fresh
Few drops of hot pepper sauce
6 eggs yolk
6 eggs white
Preheat oven to 350° F. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat melt butter or margarine. Stir in flour, salt and mustard. Cook and stir over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Add milk. Stirring over medium heat, bring to a boil and boil until thickened. Add cheese, lemon juice and hot pepper sauce. Cook and stir until cheese melts. Remove from heat.
Blend in egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a large mixer bowl beat egg whites at high speed until stiff but not dry. Fold into cheese mixture. Pour into an ungreased 1 1/2 -quart soufflé dish. Set in a larger baking pan; fill pan with boiling water to a depth of 1 inch. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a knife inserted halfway between center and edge comes out clean.
