Preparation

Step 1

PREHEAT oven to 325 degrees

PULVERIZE vanilla bean and 2 T sugar n a coffee grinder.

WARM cream, half and half, and vanilla sugar in a saucepan over medium heat just until steam rises.

WHISK egg yolks, egg, 1/4 c sugar, and salt together in a mixing bowl.
Slowly whisk hot cream mixture into eggs to temper.

STRAIN egg mixture into a measuring cup with a pour spout and divide among the six 4 oz. ovenproof ramekins. Arrange dishes i a baking pan, then carefully transfer pan to the oven. Add hot water to the pan and bake custards until set, 35-45 minutes; don't overcook.

REMOVE ramekins from water bath, cool, then cover loosely with plastic wrap. Chill until completely cold, preferably overnight.

CARAMELIZE each custard before serving by burning sugar on top .
Let the brûlées stand a few minutes after caramelizing so the topping hardens.
