Method

Prep 15 min · cook 50 min
  1. Heat the oven to 160 °C. Melt 100 g of the sugar with the water in a pan until it turns a deep amber caramel.
  2. Pour the caramel into a 20 cm mould or six ramekins and tilt to coat the base.
  3. Warm the milk with the vanilla. Whisk the eggs with the remaining sugar, then whisk in the warm milk without making foam.
  4. Strain into the mould, stand it in a roasting tin and pour in hot water to halfway up.
  5. Bake for 45–50 minutes, until set with a slight wobble. Cool, then chill for at least 4 hours.
  6. Run a knife round the edge and turn out onto a plate with a lip, so the caramel stays.
