Instructions
Step 1: The vanilla cream
Preheat the oven to 140 ° C (regular oven, no convection!).
Pour the milk into a saucepan. Using the tip of a knife, split the vanilla pod and scrape the vanilla pod to collect the vanilla seeds. Add the vanilla seeds to the milk.
Heat the milk and bring to cook for a few seconds only. Then remove from the heat and add the liquid cream.
In a separate bowl, beat the sugar and egg yolks. Then pour the mixture into the saucepan. Whisk everything together for a minute.
Step 2: Baking
Then place the ramekins in a large glass dish. Pour hot water into the dish up to ¾ of the height of the ramekins.
Pour the cream into the ramekins up to ¾ also.
Place the glass dish in the oven and bake in a water bath in the oven for 40 minutes.
Step 3: The caramel crust
Then let the crèmes cool. Before serving, drop a teaspoon of brown sugar in each ramekin. Spread the sugar well over the entire surface.
Light the torch and burn the brown sugar. Serve directly or reserve the crèmes brûlées in the fridge.
