Enough granulated sugar to sprinkle on top to make the hard shell
Instructions
Preheat oven to 275 degrees;
Butter 4 ramekins or ovenproof custard cups;
In a bowl, beat the egg yolks until they become a very pale yellow;
Start adding the sugar slowly. Continue beating until it thickens,
Mix the cream into the egg mixture;
Divide the mixture equally into the ramekins, and place them in an oven proof baking dish;
Pour cold water in the baking dish, until it's half way up the side of the ramekins;
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until it starts to set on the edges, but it's still soft in the center;
Remove from oven and let cool. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours;
Before serving, sprinkle about 2 or 3 tsp of sugar over the top of each ramekin. Caramelize with a small handheld torch or under a hot broiler until sugar is golden brown.
