====== Creme Caramel ====== ===== Ingredients ===== ==== for the caramel ==== * 125g caster sugar * 50 ml water ==== for the creme ==== * 600ml whole milk * 1 vanilla pod * 3 tbsp caster sugar * 4 large eggs Pre-heat the oven to 150 degrees. Heat 200ml of the milk and add the sliced-open vanilla pod. Boil for 10 minutes. Leave to cool. Place 125g of sugar together with the 50ml of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and keep boiling until dark golden brown in colour (over 10 minutes or so). Quickly plunge bottom of the saucepan in cold water, then quickly distribute amongst the 6 ramekins. Swivel around to cover the base of each ramekin. Whisk the eggs with 3 tbsp sugar, beat in all of the milk. Divide between ramekins. Fill roasting tin half with boiling water and put the ramekins into it - you want the water to reach half way up the ramekins. Put into the oven for 45 minutes. Cover and chill overnight. Turn out before serving.
