List of Ingredients




For the caramel sauce:
1 cup (250 ml) sugar
1/3 cup (80 ml) water
2 Tbs (30 ml) corn syrup
1/4 tsp (1 ml) lemon juice

For the custard:
1 1/2 cups (3750 ml) whole milk
1 1/2 cups (375 ml) light cream
3 eggs plus 2 egg yolks
2/3 cup (160 ml) sugar
1 1/2 tsp (7 ml) vanilla extract
A pinch of salt

Recipe



To make the caramel sauce: Combine all ingredients in a small, non-reactive saucepan and bring to a boil without stirring over moderate heat. Cook, swirling the pan gently, until the syrup is honey colored and large bubbles form on the surface. Remove from the heat and carefully pour the syrup into 6 to 8 ungreased, 6-ounce (180 ml)oven proof ramekins or custard cups. Set aside.

To make the custard: Heat the milk and cream in a separate saucepan over moderate heat just until steam begins to appear. Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, yolks, and sugar just enough to combine them - you do not want any bubbles in the mixture. Remove from the heat and gently whisk the milk mixture, vanilla, and salt into the egg mixture. Strain into a pot or measuring cup with a pouring spout and divide evenly between the ramekins. Place the ramekins in a deep baking pan with about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of hot water in it and place in the center of a preheated 350F (180C) oven. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, until the tip of a knife inserted about halfway between the edge and the center of the ramekin comes out clean. Remove from the oven and cool on wire racks. Refrigerate until ready to serve. To serve, run the blade of a small knife around the edge and invert an individual serving plate over each ramekin. Carefully turn the two over and shake gently to release the custard. Serves 6 to 8.
