Creme Brulee
from Baking From My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan

1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk (i used 1% and it still worked)
3 large egg yolks
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
about 6 tablespoons sugar for topping

---Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
---Bring the cream and milk just to a boil.
---Whisk the egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla together in a bowl until well blended, but not airy. Still whisking, drizzle in about one quarter of the hot liquid (to temper the eggs). Whisking all the while, slowly pour in the remainder of the dream and milk. Give the bowl a good rap against the counter to de-bubble to custard, then strain it into the baking dishes. (I used 4 ramekins, it says to use 6, but we wanted more custard.)
---Bake the custards for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the centers are set. Lift the dishes to a cooling rack and let them sit until they reach room temperature.
---Cover each custard and refrigerate at least three hours. The sugar will not carmelize properly unless the custard is COLD.
---Sprinkle the top of the custard with about 1 tablespoon of sugar, and blowtorch away my dears! Just start off easy until you get the hang of it, you don't want really burnt sugar.
