Place these in a water bath (large pan filled with 3 -6 centimetres of hot water) and bake until set around the edges, but still soft in the centre, between 30 and 60 minutes.

Take out of oven and leave in the water bath until cooled.

12
Remove ramekins from water and chill for at least 2 hours.

When youre ready to serve, sprinkle about 2 teaspoons of sugar over each custard and using a small blowtorch heat sugar until it caramelises.

If you don't have a torch, place the ramekins under the grill until the sugar melts and then re-chill custards for a few minutes before serving.
