Hello :)

So, I finally managed to get a blowtorch at Home etc, in Canal Walk. My last attempt to make Creme Brulee last year came out disastrous. This time, I did some research and found a good recipe, and also got myself a sieve, a blow torch and proper ramekins (the other ones I could not find small ones so I used two big oven dishes things).

SO, my recipe that I took is as follows:

OK, so now, I followed all the steps, and I threw in the cream into the egg mixture, and I beat it, but it did not seem to thicken alot... but its in the oven now and its looking good. The consistency was that of pancake mix (but a little less thick), so I hope its right haha!

I will take them out 15h40 and then will see.

Then, I will let it cool down, and once its ready, I will sprinkle on some sugar and attempt to Brulee haha! I will put the pics up now now once out the oven :D
 
OMG :( :( I think the oven was too hot. It is burning dark brown on the top!!
 
Success!!! They came out perfect!! The top is a bit brown, but I will put sugar on and Brulee it anyways!! Its perfect consistency and taste :) Once it's cooled down in the fridge I will torch them and will load the pics here :) :)
 
I LOVE this stuff, and fortunately my wife makes kick ass Brulee.

Mouth watering here.....thanks for nothing!!
 
So. Here we go :) Finished :) The edges burnt a bit, but as this is a second attempt I am quite happy with the result :D
