Ingredients

4 servings

For the caramel

½ cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp water

For the custard

2 cups whole milk
Chef's tip
Use the same amount of soy milk as regular milk. It's one of the most reliable milk swaps and works in almost any recipe, including sauces, custards, and baked goods. In cold drinks or uncooked dishes you may notice a mild soy flavor.
3 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
⅓ cup granulated sugar
¼ tsp salt

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Place four 6-oz ramekins in a deep 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
2
Combine the 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 2 tbsp water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook without stirring, swirling the pan occasionally, until the syrup turns a deep amber color, 8–10 minutes. Watch closely — the caramel can darken quickly once it begins to color. Immediately pour the caramel evenly among the four ramekins, tilting each to coat the bottom. Work quickly; the caramel will set within about 30 seconds.
