Caramel sauce

7 eggs

75 cl-1.5 pints milk

120g-4.2 oz sugar

1 flan tin

Pre-heat the oven to 180°C.

Heat up the milk in a saucepan. Split the vanilla pod down the middle, scrape off the seeds with a sharp knife. Put the seeds and the pods into the milk. When the milk is hot, take it off the heat and leave it to cool to obtain maximum vanilla flavour. Remove the vanilla pods.

Beat the eggs and sugar in a mixing bowl. Slowly add the milk and stir to obtain a smooth mixture.

Pour the caramel sauce into the tin.

Pour over the mixture.

Cook bain-marie style in the oven for about 40 minutes.

To check if it is ready stick a clean knife into the middle, if the blade does not come out clean, cook for a few more minutes.

Chill in the fridge.

To turn out your crème caramel successfully,; plunge the tins into hot water, for 3-4mn, then turn them straight out onto a serving plate.

Bon appétit !
