Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
-
In a saucepan, combine 100 grams of sugar and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and turns into a caramel syrup.
-
Pour the caramel syrup into a 9-inch round baking dish, tilting it to coat the bottom evenly.
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, remaining sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
-
Pour the egg mixture over the caramel in the baking dish.
-
Place the baking dish in a larger roasting pan and fill the roasting pan with enough hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the baking dish.
-
Carefully transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
-
Remove the baking dish from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature.
-
Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the custard to fully set.
-
To serve, run a knife around the edge of the baking dish and invert the creme caramel onto a serving plate. The caramel sauce will flow over the custard.
