Directions
- 1Take two cups of cream, a pinch of salt, and vanilla.
- 2Bring the cream mixture to a simmer and let it steep for five minutes.
- 3Take five egg yolks and a half cup of sugar.
- 4Whisk the egg yolks and sugar until smooth.
- 5Very slowly add the hot cream a little bit at a time to the egg mixture. If you add it too much at once, it will scramble.
- 6Add the mixture to ramekins and place them in a dish with boiling water halfway up.
- 7Bake at 325 degrees for 40 minutes until it wiggles in the middle, but the edges shouldn't wiggle.
- 8Set the crème brûlée overnight.
- 9Top with some sugar and either blow torch it to caramelize or place it under a broiler for about a minute or two.
