Crème caramel
serves 8
ingredients
175g/6oz granulated sugar
750ml/11⁄4pt milk
75g/3oz caster sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
• Preheat the oven to 160°C/325°F/Gas mark 3. Brush eight
125ml/4fl oz ramekins or moulds with melted butter.
• Put the granulated sugar and 50ml/2fl oz water in a pan. Stir over a
low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat
and simmer until the mixture turns golden and starts to caramelize.
Remove from the heat immediately, and pour enough hot caramel into
each ramekin to cover the bottom.
• To make the custard, heat the milk in a pan over a low heat until almost
boiling. Remove from the heat. Whisk together the caster sugar, eggs
and vanilla essence for 2 minutes, then stir in the warm milk. Strain the
mixture into a jug, and carefully pour into the ramekins.
• Put the ramekins in a baking dish, and pour in enough boiling water to
come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 30 minutes or until
the custard is set. Allow to cool, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours
before serving.
