I have made it as written and it is lovely. I have also tripled it for a party and it filled 17 4-oz mason jars up to the threading. If you do triple the recipe, the caramel is a bit tricky. Be sure to remove the pan from the heat when it is LIGHT amber and smells caramelized -- it will cook/darken for another 30-60 seconds even after removing it from the heat. But don't remove it too early or it won't taste like caramel at all. Have fun!

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup sugar 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon water 3/4 cup whole milk 1/4 cup heavy cream 5 large egg yolks 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Coarse salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Heat sugar and water in a saucepan over medium-high heat, swirling occasionally, until deep amber, about 7 minutes. Carefully whisk in milk and cream.

Whisk together yolks, vanilla, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Slowly pour caramel-milk mixture into yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Skim any bubbles from the top. Divide evenly among four 6-ounce ramekins.

Set ramekins in a 9-inch square baking dish. Pour boiling water into dish to come a third of the way up sides of ramekins. Bake until custards are just set but jiggle slightly, 27 to 30 minutes. Remove from water using tongs. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.

   Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/11/2014   We love this recipe. I have made it as written and it is lovely. I have also tripled it for a party and it filled 17 4-oz mason jars up to the threading. If you do triple the recipe, the caramel is a bit tricky. Be sure to remove the pan from the heat when it is LIGHT amber and smells caramelized -- it will cook/darken for another 30-60 seconds even after removing it from the heat. But don't remove it too early or it won't taste like caramel at all. Have fun!
