Creme Brulee

Creme Brulee
from Cook's Illustrated
4 ramekins or 6 shallow ramekins

• 2 C heavy cream
• 6 egg yolks
• 1/3 C sugar
• Pinch of salt
• 1/2 vanilla bean or 1 tsp of vanilla extract but skip the steeping of the cream
• 4 - 6 tsp of turbinado sugar or Demerara sugar.
  

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Combine the cream, sugar, vanila and salt in a small saucepan.
• Whisk the egg yolks in a bowl and whisk in the cream mixture. Strain into a 2 cup measuring cup.
• Place a kitchen towel or silicone baking mat in the bottom of a large roasting pan and place the ramekins in the pan.
• Bring a kettle of water to a boil.
• pour the custard mixture into the ramekins then pour the boiling water in the roasting pan.Pour the water until it reaches 2/3 up the side of the ramekins. Carefully slide the rack back into the oven.
• Bake until the center of the custards are barely sit, not sloshy but a little jiggly, about 30 - 35 minutes.
• Transfer the ramekins to a wire rack to cool to room temperature, about 2 hours.
• Cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until cold at least 4 hours.
• Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of turbinado sugar on the surface completely, and brulee until the sugar forms a caramel colored crust. But I don't have the gun so I use to put in the oven and on only top heat element to make it burn, that why my brulee are not so nice, it's look too burn ;-(
