## Ingredients

- 140 g sugar
- 70 ml water
- 3 eggs
- 3 egg yolks
- 100 g sugar
- 600 ml milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

## Instructions

1. Make the caramel by putting sugar and water in a saucepan. Stir until the sugar has dissolved completely and the liquid is clear.
2. Cover the pan to let the steam wash any crystallized sugar off the sides of the pan. Don't stir; just wait and check on it once in a while until the syrup turns a light nutty brown.
3. Prepare the ramekins and set them in a baking pan.
4. When the caramel reaches the color you like, remove it from the heat and immediately pour it into the ramekins.
5. Heat the milk until it simmers.
6. Meanwhile, beat the eggs and gradually beat the sugar into the eggs until light and foamy.
7. Pour the hot milk in a thin stream while continuing to beat the mixture.
8. Add the vanilla and stir.
9. Discard the foam on top and use a sieve to strain the mixture into a pouring pitcher.
10. Pour the mixture into the caramel-lined ramekins.
11. Place the baking pan in a preheated oven at 300 Fahrenheit. Pour in boiling water around the ramekins until it's about halfway to the top, and bake for 40 minutes.
12. To unmold, run a knife between the custard and edge of the mold. Place a serving dish upside down over the mold and turn the mold upside down to remove the custard.
