CREME BRULEE
2 cups double cream
120g sugar
4 egg yolks
1 vanilla bean pod
6 tbs caster sugar

In a bowl whisk the eggs and the remaining sugar. Don’t over whisk. Just enough to combine with sugar.
Heat your cream but Do Not Let It Boil. Just enough to heat through.
Pour the cream over the eggs whisking straight away so it doesn’t scramble.

Remove from oven but leave them in the water bath for 30min.
Then refrigerate for 2 hrs.
Sprinkle 1 tbs of sugar over each ramekin and blow touch them.
Wait about 2-3 min before serving
