A classic, silky custard made with eggs and milk, poured over caramelized sugar and baked in a water bath. Turn it out to serve with the flowing caramel sauce on top.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Make the caramel

10 min

Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan. Heat over low heat without stirring until deep amber, then immediately divide among the ramekins and spread over the bottoms.

2

Prepare the custard

10 min

Whisk the eggs, sugar, and vanilla. Gradually add the lukewarm milk and stir gently without creating foam.

3

Fill the ramekins

5 min

Strain the mixture into the caramel-lined ramekins.

4

Bake in a water bath

45 min

Place the ramekins in a roasting pan filled with hot water and bake in a preheated oven until the custard is set. Important: Make sure the water reaches halfway up the ramekins.

5

Chill and serve

10 min

Once the ramekins have cooled, chill them in the refrigerator for a few hours. Turn them out onto serving plates and serve with the caramel sauce.

Reminder

Allergen information: contains milk and eggs. Important: Always bake the ramekins in a water bath (a hot-water bath); without it, the custard may turn grainy and develop air pockets.

Belirtilen sürede biraz erken kızardı, benimkinde 5 dakika kısalttım. Su miktarını azaltınca kıvamı toparladı. İlk 20 dakika üzerini örttüm, sonrasında açtım, böyle daha dengeli pişti.
