Lemon And Bay Creme Brulee

Recipe By : Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Upper Crust

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ --------------------------------
450 milliliters double cream 1 vanilla pod 1 bay leaf a lemon -- Zest of 5 egg yolks 100 grams
castor sugar

Place cream, vanilla, bay leaf and lemon zest in a heavy-based saucepan over a low heat. Allow cream
to simmer for 3 minutes. If you have time, allow to stand for 20 minutes to let the ingredients
infuse. Place the egg yolks and 2 tablespoons of the sugar in a large bowl and whisk until the
mixture turns paler and is light and fluffy. Remove the vanilla pod, lemon and bay from the cream
and the slowly add the warm cream to the sugar and egg yolks. When it is thoroughly combined pour
the mixture to the pan.

Cook over a low heat, stirring continuously until the custard starts to thicken, about 4-5 minutes.
Do not allow the mixture to boil. Pour the custard into 6 medium ramekins and allow to cool in a
fridge preferably over night. About 20 minutes before serving, sprinkle remaining sugar over the set
custards. Place under a very hot grill until the sugar is melted and bubbling. Leave to cool for 5-
10 minutes until the sugar has formed a hard crust.
