Classic Crème Brûlée
Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 vanilla bean (or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract)
- 5 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (for the topping)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Prepare the Cream:
- Pour the heavy cream into a saucepan.
- Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape the seeds into the cream (if using vanilla extract, add it after heating the cream).
- Heat the cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes to infuse the vanilla flavor.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and granulated sugar together until the mixture becomes pale and thick.
- Combine Cream and Eggs:
- Slowly pour the hot cream into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid curdling the eggs.
- Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl to remove any solids.
- Bake the Custards:
- Divide the mixture among 4-6 ramekins.
- Place the ramekins in a baking dish and pour hot
