Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
-
In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and vanilla extract over medium heat until hot but not boiling.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until well combined.
-
Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly.
-
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pouring jug.
-
Divide the mixture among four ramekins.
-
Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
-
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
-
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature.
-
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the custard to set.
-
Just before serving, sprinkle about 1/2 tablespoon of granulated sugar evenly over each custard.
-
Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until golden and bubbly.
-
Let the brûlées sit for a few minutes to allow the sugar to harden, then serve immediately.
