How To Make This Delicious Recipe
Preparing The Custard Then The Burn (Brulée)
- You will need 6 ramekin dishes placed in an oven dish or tin that is deeper than the ramekin dishes. Have these ready.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C/Gas 4
- Place the cream into a heavy-based saucepan.
- Split the vanilla pod and scrape out the seeds into the cream.
- Bring to a boil, over medium heat, stirring continuously.
- Remove from heat and leave to stand for about 15 minutes.
- Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar and liqueur until well blended.
- Gradually, whisk in the cream.
- Pour into the ramekin dishes.
- Pour boiling water into the oven dish so that it comes halfway up the ramekin dishes.
- Cover the whole dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes until they are set.
- When set, sprinkle with brown sugar and place under broiler/grill for about 30 seconds or until sugar melts/caramelizes.
Variation
- Another method to brulée or burn is to use a blowtorch. This is quite simple, you just need a bit of confidence to do it for the first time. Protect the edges of the dishes with foil and aim the flame over the surface for a few seconds until browned.
- Place in refrigerator to chill before serving.
