Creme Brulee (Custard)
By babeboomer
This is the fancy custard served in fancy restaurants. The correct way is to torch it to brown sugar over it. This recipe simply bakes it in the oven and then drizzles browned sugar over it. You can torch white sugar sprinkled over the custards lightly before serving if you like.
