Portuguese Creme Caramel recipe

Step 1

Put 100g of sugar in a saucepan, bring to the heat under low and wait for it to melt and turn into caramel. Pour into the cake pan/tin to set.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix the sugar with a teaspoon of flour a pinch of salt. Whisk the eggs in with the mixture into until it's constant and frothy.

Step 3

To prepare the pudding, boil the milk with a vanilla bean opened in half and lemon peel. Let it cool until it is at least warm.

Step 4

Take the milk off heat and stir into the egg mixture being careful that you don't over stir.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees. Strain the mixture and pour into the cake pan/tin. Put the tin in a water bath (pan of water) to prevent it from drying out. Bake for 30 minutes.

Step 6

When finished, wait for it to cool down a bit and then put a plate over the pan and flip the tin/pan over onto the plate.
