INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Line a 13 x 9-inch glass baking dish with a kitchen towel. Butter six 4-oz. ramekins and place in the baking dish.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the cream. Divide the custard among the ramekins. Place the baking dish in the oven and pour enough hot water into the dish to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for about 1 hour, until the custard is just set but still slightly jiggly in center. Let the custards cool in the hot water bath at room temperature for 30 minutes.

3. Remove ramekins from the water bath and cool completely. Cover each ramekin in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at

least 2 hours. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

4. When ready to serve, sprinkle the tops of the crème brûlées with an even layer of sugar and use a kitchen blowtorch to caramelize the sugar. Serve immediately.
