A Erickson said...

Wow-it looks fantastic. I can only dream.

Annie said...

Thanks everybody! Yes, Brandi, it is my basement. Mike got sick of me not going down there, so he painted it (I helped a little) and I decorated it. Now it's a little more cozy & less "dungeon-y".

Annie- I totaly know who you are! So this is going to be long! Here is the recipe, since I don't have your email!

Creme Brulee-
prehheat oven to 300

In a seperate pan start about 2-3 quarts of water boiling, for a water bath when they cook, not in recipe!


1 cup heavy Whipping cream
1/3 cup Sugar

slowly bring to just boilin mix only occasionally (don't over mix)

add:
1 cup whipping
1/2 teasp. vanilla
pinch of salt
(I let these heat up a little, but not too hot)

in a seperate bowl
6 eggs yolks (beaten)

Now in order to put the hot cream in with the eggs you have to ad a small amount of the cream to the egg yolks, and stir them in, to temper them, (so that they don't cook) add a little more, stir and then you can add the rest.


Place a dish towel in a glass casserole dish, add the ramekins on top of towel, fill each ramekin.
Fill the casserole dish with the boling water so that the water is 2/3 the height of the ramekins (I usually do this with the pan already sitting on the oven shelf)

Bake 30 minutes

Place remekins on a wire rack.
sprinkle the tops with sugar (raw of table whatever you prefer)
cover and place in fridge overnight.

Torch the top before serving. (we got a torch at the kitchen store, our firend just bought one at home depot! You just worch it till the sugar starts to brown and boil.

Good luck, if you have questions or need anything clarified, just email me - comeitch@gmail.com
