Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/4 cups cream, fresh (500 ml)
1 cup milk (250 ml)
1 teaspoon vanilla (best is to use the scraped-out seeds from 1 pod)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
2 star anise
1/4 teaspoon ground mixed spice (the commercial "mixed-spice")
2 eggs
3 egg yolks
1/2 cup brown sugar (125 ml)
1/2 cup brown sugar (distributed, and caramelised with a kitchen blowtorch)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 deg F/150 deg Celsius Grease 6 ramekins or cups which can hold about 1 cup each (250 ml).
  • Mix the cream, milk and spices in a small saucepan, and bring to boiling point. Remove from heat.
  • Whisk the eggs, egg yolks and brown sugar (preferably with an electric mixer) until really well mixed and the sugar almost melted.
  • Add the warm creamy mixture, while whisking, to the egg mixture, keeping up whisking. Whisk until the sugar has melted.
  • Using a fine sieve, pour the custard mixture through the sieve to get rid of any small lumps.
  • Divide into the prepared ramekins.
  • Place a clean kitchen cloth on the bottom of a deep oven tin or dish, and on that, place the filled ramekins.
  • Carefully pour in boiling water to about halfway up the ramekins.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes until the custard has set. Take out and remove ramekins.
  • The puddings can be enhanced by the two suggestions above, or with chopped bananas stewed with dessicated coconut.
