Honey Souffle (Gluten Free)

                                                                                  This gluten free, dairy free dessert was the last course at our Saturday dinner party.  It was created by a guest chef, my husband, because I was too busy talking to our guests.  I came into the kitchen to fill some one's glass and Bob was sifting gluten free flour into the egg yolks.
"I thought we'd better get this started," he said.
 He has a much better sense of time than I do. At dinner parties, we no longer eat at nine, but this was something that had to be done after the guests had arrived, but could not be left too late.
 The original recipe called for flour, but Bob added the same amount of  Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free flour. It seems to be a kosher recipe, as it calls for kosher margarine. I confess, I did not check to see if the margarine was kosher. Most stuff is, like seltzer water. Kosher hot dogs say they are kosher. Well, I don't keep kosher, so it doesn't matter to me so much.  Those who do keep kosher know which margarines are kosher.
Like the Lobster Thermidor, the recipe comes from the north east, New York to be specific. It came out more like a steamed pudding and less like a souffle. It was still good. Bob put in a teaspoon of nutmeg and two teaspoons of grated lemon rind and doubled the recipe since we had eight people at dinner.
