Ingredients

8 servings

For the caramel

1 cup granulated sugar
3 tbsp water

For the custard

2 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
4 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
½ cup granulated sugar
1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp fine salt

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Place a 9-inch round cake pan or pie dish in a large roasting pan and set aside.
2
Combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 3 tbsp water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir just until the sugar dissolves, then stop stirring and cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the caramel turns a deep amber — the color of dark honey — about 10–12 minutes. Watch closely once it begins to color, as it can darken quickly.
