Ingredients

3 cups whipping cream

One 2-inch piece of vanilla bean or 1 tsp vanilla extract

6 egg yolks

1/3 cup granulated sugar

==========================

Topping

1/3 cup granulated sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 300ºF

Bring cream to simmer.

Cool slightly and add in vanilla.

In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture is thick and lemon colored.

Whisk in warm cream.

Butter four 1-cup custard cups.

Divide custard among them.

Place cups in a baking dish large enough to hold all four.

Add hot water to the baking dish until it reaches halfway up custard dishes.

Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until the custard is just set.

When removed from oven, custard may look wobbly and slightly golden on top.

It will set when chilled.

Remove from water bath, cool and refrigerate.

An hour before serving, sieve 1 tbsp sugar evenly over each custard.

Place under broiler as close to heat as possible and watch sugar caramelize.

It takes about 2 to 3 minutes.

Sugar will turn a golden brown color.
