Ingredients:
"Creme Brulee, or 'burnt cream', is a simple and sublime custard dessert. Its brown-sugar topping is melted under the broiler, forming a very thin candied sheet."2 egg yolks, slightly beaten 2 eggs, slightly beaten 1/3 cup (65g) granulated sugar 1/8 tsp. salt 2 cups (1/2 L) very hot heavy cream 1 1/2 cups (3 1/2 dL)dark-brown sugar, sifted or sieved
Directions:
Mix the egg yolks, eggs, granulated sugar, and salt together in the top of a double boiler. Add the hot cream slowly, beating constantly; cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened. Pour into a 10x6-inch baking dish about 2 inches deep. Cover and refrigerate. Just before serving, preheat the broiler. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly all over the top of the cream, no more then 1/4 inch thick. Run the dish under the broiler and, watching carefully, heat just until the brown sugar melts and turns shiny. Remove and serve immediately. (Serves six to eight) | |
