Creme Brulee
4 Answers
I want to make this for the 6 of us along with Christmas dinner, but there are so many varying recipes that I don't know which to trust. Does anybody have a recipe that they have actually made and liked?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Place four egg yolks in a bowl, heat a pint of cream/milk mixture and a split vanilla pod until almost boiling (careful not to burn it). Stir three/four tablespoons of caster sugar into the egg yolks, and pour the hot cream on top, stirring fast all the time to avoid scrambling. Pour the custard into ramekins or small dishes (i like to place raspberries or blueberries in the botom first). Place the ramekins in a roasting tin with hot water in, so that the water reaches half way up the dishes. Bake in the oven at Gas 5 / 190 for about twenty mins, or until the custard has set, but is not solid. Sprinkle a mixture of caster and icing sugar on the top, and grill or blow torch until caramalised. Allow to cool and solidify, then repeat the sugaring and grilling to make an extra crisp, sugar top. repeat this as often as you like till you get your preferred thickness or caramel top., refridgerate untill needed, or serve warm.
