Crème Brûlée













1 pint (2  cups)  whipping cream
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup   granulated sugar
1 Tbsp.  vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degree.
Heat cream over medium heat until bubbles form around edge of pan.
Beat egg yolks and sugar together until thick, about 3 minutes.
Gradually beat cream into egg yolks.  Stir in vanilla.
Pour mixture into 6 six-ounce custard cups. 
Place cups in baking dish that has about 1/2 inch water (don't place too much water, so water won't get into custard dishes) in the bottom.
Bake until set, about 45 minutes.

Mix 4 Tbsp. granulated sugar and 1 tsp. brown sugar.  Sprinkle each custard with about 2 tsp. sugar blend.
Place on top rack under broiler.  Cook until topping is medium brown.
Chill before serving.
