Serves
Caramel
½ cup (110g) sugar
Crème
3 eggs (60g each)
300ml full-fat milk
200ml pouring cream
cup (60g) sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla paste (or vanilla extract)
To serve
1 punnet blueberries, optional
Method
To make the caramel, put the sugar and
tablespoons water in a small saucepan.
Heat on medium-low heat swirling the
pan from time to time until the sugar has
dissolved.Increase temperature to medium-
high and cook until the sugar turns to an
amber colour, swirling the pan occasionally.
Do not stir.
Working quickly, divide caramel into the four
ramekins tilting to spread the caramel evenly
over the base and set aside.
(Be careful during this step. Caramelised
sugar is very hot).
For the crème, whisk the eggs, milk, cream,
sugar and vanilla paste together in a bowl
until combined. Pour mixture through a fine
sieve into a large measuring jug. Discard
solids in sieve.
Divide mixture evenly on top of the caramel,
leaving about a .cm border at the top.
Cover each ramekin with aluminium foil and
press down around the edges to seal. Place
ramekins onto the steaming tray and cover
with the stainless steel steaming lid.
