Creme Brulee recipe

Mostly because I can't find it easily.

Makes 2

3/4 cup cream
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp orange zest
2 egg yokes
1/4 cup sugar

Makes 6

2.25 cup cream
1.5 tsp vanilla
6 egg yokes
3/4 cup sugar

Makes 8

3 cup cream
2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp orange zest
8 egg yokes
1 cup sugar

  1. Ideally use a fresh vanilla bean. 
  2. Slice the vanilla bean in half, scrape it into the cream and bring up to a boil.
  3. In a different bowl, add egg yokes and sugar. 
  4. Strain the heated cream to get rid of the bigger chunks.
  5. Whisk egg mixture in a double boiler and slowly add the strained heated cream.
  6. Transfer to ramekins and put into a bain marie and bake in oven at 350F
  7.  Cook for 30-40 minutes (?) until only slightly jiggly. Keep checking.
  8. Cool completely
  9. Before serving, put some white sugar on top, roll around and dump off excess. Torch lightly to caramelize.
