Ingredients
Caramel:
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup water
Creme Layer:
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/3 cup sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Add sugar and water to a medium saucepan on medium-high heat and shake the pan to start dissolving the sugar.
- Do not stir the pan or leave unattended and cook for 8-10 minutes.
- Note: Cook until golden brown (if sugar crystals start to form around the edges, brush the edges with water).
- Pour caramel into a thin layer in 6 ramekins.
- Whisk the eggs and vanilla extract until well beaten and set aside.
- Add milk and sugar to a small saucepan and whisk until sugar is dissolved.
- Bring to barely a simmer, then remove from the heat and in as thin stream as possible add it to the eggs while whisking vigorously.
- Note: Do not stop whisking, you don't want to cook the eggs and make sure the milk is in a very thin stream.
- Evenly distribute the custard to the ramekins.
- Add the ramekins to a 10x14" baking dish and fill pan with 1" of boiling water.
- Cook for 40 minutes until the edges are set and the middle just jiggles and a small knife comes out clean from the middle.
- Cool for 15 minutes then remove from the baking pan and let cool completely on a cooling rack.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Run a knife around the around the rims of the ramekins, place a plate upside down over the baking dish and quickly flip over.
