Ingredients:
2 cups heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp salt
5 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar, plus more for topping
Directions:
Heat oven to 325 degrees.
In saucepan or microwave, combine cream and salt, and heat over low until just hot (do not boil). Remove from heat. Add vanilla.
In a bowl, beat yolks and sugar together until light. Stir about a quarter of the cream into this mixture, then pour sugar-egg mixture into cream and stir. Pour into four 6-ounce ramekins and place ramekins in a baking dish. Fill dish with boiling water halfway up the sides of the dishes.
Bake 30-40 minutes, or until centers are barely set. Cool completely. Refrigerate for several hours and up to a couple days.
When ready to serve, top each custard with about a teaspoon of sugar in a thin layer. Place ramekins in a broiler 2-3 inches from heat source. Turn on boiler. Cook until sugar melts and browns, about 5 minutes. Serve right away. (Or brown sugar with torch.)
