Fairway Creme Brulee
yields 2 servings
Ingredients:
1 cup Heavy Cream
2 Egg Yolks
1 Tsp. Vanilla
1 Tblsp. Sugar
Beat egg yolks and sugar thoroughly. Add vanilla and mix well. Warm up cream in the top of a double broiler. Remove cream from heat and pour into egg yolk mixture, beating constantly. Pour into 2 heat resistant ramekins and cook “bain-marie.” The bain-marie process involves placing the ramekins in 1/2 inch hot water in a deep baking pan. Cook 30 minutes in a pre-heated oven set to 350º. Remove from oven and allow to cool with ramekins remaining in the water. (After cooling, custard may be used immediately or refrigerated for several days for future use.)
Sprinkle a thin layer of sugar on top of the custard. Caramelize immediately using a hand-held propane torch, heating until custard has a nice brown crystalized crust.
