Step 1
In a pan, warm up the milk until it gets to the boiling point, then remove from the heat.

Beat the eggs and egg yolk until they double their volume and get a pale yellow colour, then add them to the milk, whisking well.
Step 3
Add the icing sugar and vanilla extract, and mix again to combine, making sure you have a smooth consistency. Set aside.
Step 4
To make the caramel, add the granulated sugar, water and vinegar to a pan set over a low heat.
Step 5
Leave to simmer undisturbed for 25-30 minutes until the syrup turns into a light brown colour.
Step 6
Preheat the oven to 170 degrees C (340 F).
Step 7
Divide the caramel between 4 ramekins, making sure the bottom of the ramekins is well covered with an even layer of caramel.
Step 8
Use a ladle to divide the egg mixture between the 4 ramekins too, then arrange them on an ovenproof dish.
Step 9
Add hot water to the dish, so that the ramekins are half covered in water.
Step 10
Bake for approximately 35-40 minutes until the crème caramel is set and firm to touch.

Leave to cool down to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, ideally overnight.
Step 12
Run a sharp knife around the edges, place a small plate on top of the ramekin, then flip it over to release the crème caramel. Alternatively, you can serve it straight from the ramekin.Enjoy!
