To begin with this recipe, we must prepare a few ingredients. You can cook créme brûlée using 5 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make Créme Brûlée:

1. Make ready 4 x egg yolks
2. Prepare 50 g x caster sugar plus some for topping
3. Make ready 300 ml x double cream
4. Get 33 ml x milk
5. Make ready 1 x tsp good quality vanilla extract

And, if not, the broiler is a great stand-in for a handy-dandy blowtorch. Then, refrigerate the creme brulee so the custard can set. For the final touch, caramelize a tablespoon of sugar over medium-low heat and pour it on top. That will give you the crisp topping creme brulee is known for.

Instructions to make Créme Brûlée:

1. Separate egg yolks and combine with sugar in a bowl, whisk only for a minute as you don't want to whisk air into the mixture, just incorporate
2. Combine cream and vanilla in a pan and heat to a simmer, then slowly pour the hot cream over the eggs while continually whisking. This prevents the eggs from scrambling.
3. Stir custard over a very low heat and use a rubber spatula or flat bottomed wooden spoon to stir gently and continually to prevent the eggs from scrambling, until the custard is thick enough to to coat the back of a spoon. Pour through a sieve to remove any scrambled bits and pour into ramekins in a baking dish.The J cloth is below to defuse heat from the bottom
4. Pour boiling water half way up the sides of the ramekins and transfer carefully into the oven at 100c or 212f for about 1 hour or until the custard is set around the sides but a little wobble in the centre. Cooking at such a low heat results a flat brûlée. Leave to cool at room temp for 30 minutes then into the fridge for at least 6 hours
5. I used Demerara sugar but any will do, add a generous amount onto the chilled and set brûlée then tilt the ramekin so that the sugar covers the entire surface, then tip the excess out
6. If you don't have a blow torch put brûlées under a very hot grill/broiler if using a torch hold the ramekin in one hand and apply the flame from several inches away and move the flame and tilt and rotate the ramekin until the sugar has melted and turned to a deep golden brown caramel. Watch your fingers please!
7. Leave the caramel to cool for just 1 minute before smashing into it, I use a tea spoon because it takes longer to eat and savour, these are great on their own or with some crunchy biscuit or sponge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T00xdxpjXS0&t=52s
