Sucré ou salé, le soufflé est un grand classique de la cuisine française qui impressionne toujours [...] Délicat et moelleux, le soufflé est une spécialité culinaire française très appréciée des petits comme des grands. La clé de son succès réside dans sa pâte gonflée, qui exige d’être dégustée dès la sortie du four, puisque cette dernière dégonfle presque aussitôt. 2, record 1, French, - souffl%C3%A9

suflé; soufflé: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que suflé, con una sola f y sin o, es la forma adaptada al español de la voz francesa soufflé. [...] La vigesimotercera edición del Diccionario académico incluye el galicismo soufflé, escrito en cursiva como un extranjerismo, y la adaptación suflé, que considera preferible, para aludir a un ‘alimento preparado de manera que quede inflado’ [...] Además de ese uso propio de los ámbitos de la alimentación y la cocina, la palabra se emplea en muchos otros casos con un sentido metafórico para referirse a algo que se encuentra en alza (o, de manera literal, inflado o hinchado), pero que puede venirse abajo en cualquier momento. Por tanto, se recomienda emplear en todos los contextos la forma adaptada suflé [...] 2, record 1, Spanish, - sufl%C3%A9

DORER : Badigeonner une pâte au pinceau avec de l'oeuf battu, éventuellement délayé avec un peu d'eau ou de lait : cette «dorure» permet d'obtenir, après cuisson, une croûte brillante. On dore à l'oeuf entier ou au jaune uniquement les feuilletages, les tourtes et pies, la brioche, la pâte à chou, les pâtés en croûte; on dore à l'oeuf et au caramel, au lait sucré ou à l'eau miellée les biscuits, petits-fours et gâteaux secs. 3, record 2, French, - dorure%20%C3%A0%20l%27%26oelig%3Buf

La source Time-Life CUIMO-2F, 1974, Vol. 2 traduit le terme anglais popover par pet de nonne. Elle se trompe. Les pets-de-nonne sont des beignets cuits dans la grande friture (confirmé par SUPERCHEF (avec photo), LAGAS-F 1984 et Jehane Benoît (BENCU 1969). Cette dernière conserve le terme popovers dans son édition française. L'Office de la langue française recommande l'usage, en français, du terme anglais popover, sous toute réserve. 2, record 4, French, - popover
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 2 OBS
La recette des popovers semble être identique à celle du Yorkshire pudding (également levé par la vapeur), sauf que la graisse végétale remplace la graisse de rôti, et que le Yorkshire pudding peut être fait dans un grand plat, tandis que les popovers se font dans des moules individuels. 2, record 4, French, - popover
