Creme Brûlée’s
Best if the custard is done the day before
1 ltr of whipping cream
2 tsp vanilla (or more)
9 egg yolks
1/2 c sugar
Preheat oven to 325°
Put the kettle on to boil some water
Bring cream and vanilla to a boil in a pot on the stove
Set aside
Whisk egg yolks and sugar in a mixing bowl until creamy
Slowly pour cream into the yolk mixture being very careful not to cook the eggs with the hot cream. Keep whisking. This works well with another pair of hands!
Pour into small mason jars
Lightly torch to remove the air bubbles
Place into a roasting pan that is deep enough to fill hot water 1/2 way up the sides of jars. (It's best to place the roasting pan on the racks in oven before pouring in the hot water)
Bake 30-40 min ... if they still are jiggly in the centre they are not done
Let cool. Cover and refrigerate until ready for the next step.
Makes 8 small mason jars
Remove from fridge a few hours before serving but leave the lids on until closer to torching
Best when served at room temperature
Sprinkle a generous amount of sugar on top and torch until browned but be mindful of browning too much!
