Ingredients:

Caramel:
4 tbsp
4 tbsp

Custard:
2 cups
5
2 tbsp
1/2 tsp

 

sugar
water

milk (diluted evaporated)
egg yolks
sugar
vanilla essence
a pinch of salt

Method:

1. To make the caramel: Put the sugar and water into a small saucepan and boil, without stirring, until the mixture turns golden brown. Now stir the syrup and remove pan from heat before it turns too dark.

2. Pour the caramel into a large plain mould or about 6 small moulds and keep turning the mould or moulds round and round until the inside is coated with the caramel, which will immediately harden.

3. Beat the egg yolks, adding sugar gradually. Heat milk slightly and pour it slowly over the egg mixture, stirring all the time. Then add a pinch of salt and the vanilla.

4. Pour the custard carefully into the prepared mould or moulds, cover with buttered wax paper and steam very gently for about 1 hour or till custard sets. Let custard stand for a few minutes before unmoulding, if you want to serve the custard hot. If you prefer a cold dessert, chill the mould or moulds of custard in refrigerator till time to serve.
