The good old family favourite dessert made with just three main ingredients and baking it carefully in a water bath, yielding the perfect texture for a silky smooth creme caramel or Egg Pudding.

Recipe Card

‍Method of Preparation:

‍

For the Caramel

• Sprinkle the granulated sugar in 8 inches ring pan or 9 inches round pan or any oven proof pan which can hold 2 liters.
• Place it directly over the stove on medium heat till sugar starts melting and caramelizing.
• If you are using a ceramic or glass dish, you may want to melt sugar in a pan and then pour it immediately in your dish.
• It may harden which is fine.

‍

For the Custard

• Beat eggs and vanilla with a stand mixer (whisk attachment) or with a hand beater.
• Add in both milk and continue beating.
• You just need to mix really well till a homogeneous mixture is obtained.
• Pour the mixture in the prepared pan.
• Bake in a preheated oven in a water bath* at 400 F for at least 1.5 hours***.
• Chill it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight before unmoulding. If you have baked in a glass bowl, you can serve it as is.
• To speed up the process, I chill in freezer uncovered for 1 hour and then 2 hours in the refrigerator.
• To unmould, run a parring knife around the edges inner and outer and place a big inverted serving plate on top. Carefully turn it, tap and it will come out easily.

‍

Notes

• Water bath is merely a bigger pan with water at least 2 inches high and the actual dish placed in it.
• If the water dries out when you check halfway through, simply pour more water with a jug.
• It can take up to 2 hours but make sure the cake tester comes out clean.
