Crème Brûlée

Wanted to do this for awhile now, but never gotten to it until I recently looked for something more challenging, so after some time of research and material gathering, here it is:

Eggs
Vanilla Pod
Caster Sugar
Cream
Milk

I have also seen many recipes, and quantities also vary, but for reference, I used this and this.

 Process

I think I need an actual camera instead of a crappy phone camera (I knew I should have gotten that Nokia phone), but it will have to do for now.

Oh yeah, the other bowl is the separated egg whites, saved that for some other use.

 Egg and Sugar whisked

Not pictured was the cutting of the pod since it made my fingers all messy. Still, the pod and the seeds could be seen.

 Simmer Cream with Vanilla Pod

A little bit at a time, the heated cream was poured into the egg yolk bowl, just so I do not curdle or scramble those eggs (not breakfast anyway). Afterwards sieve dat stuff through for silky texture.

 Mixture

Transferred to Ramekins, now to fill up hot water half way and bake it.

 Pre-Bake

After some baking time, it is chilled a bit, then refrigerated. Many many hours later... more sugar, and standing over them is a rather beautiful blowlamp, ready with flames of doom.

 Sugar Topping

FIRE!

 Caramelised Sugar Tops

And then afterwards, refrigerated for another hour and ready to serve eat.

End Result: and then

Next time I am adjusting quantities to fill my full set of 6 ramekins, and maybe get some milk (used more cream instead) for it too, as there was only a big carton available and I had no idea how this one would turn out just yet.

Looks yummy
