Hey TL!
It's time for another recipe! In this edition of food porn, we're taking on the classic dessert dish, crème brûlée!
As always, all the images and text are taken directly from my blog (eatgamelive.com). So please, ignore the silly names. :D
Prep Time: 30min
Cook time: 45min
Serves: ~6 people (just makes 6 creme brulees, they're pretty smallish though)
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup (~226 grams) of sugar
- 1 table spoon of vanilla extract (real vanilla is better, but it is fairly pricey)
- 3 1/2 cups (~828 ml) of heavy cream
- 6 egg yolks
TOOLS
6 small ramekins
1 butane torch (if you don’t want to go out and buy a torch, you can try burning the sugar by placing them under a broiler)
PROCEDURE
- Pre-heat your oven to 325°F (~163°C).
- Separate your egg yolks. You can do this by cracking open an egg and slowly passing the yolk from shell to shell over a small bowl. Place all separated yolks in a separate bowl.
- Once you’ve separated all of the yolks, add 1/2 cup of your sugar into the eggs.
- Beat until the mixture becomes thick.
- Place a saucepan on medium heat.
- Add your cream to the pan.
- Add your vanilla extract to the cream.
- Allow the cream to get hot, but not hot enough to boil.
- Remove cream from heat and slowly add the cream to your egg mixture.Try using a ladle to slowly add the cream to the egg mixture.
- Stir your egg mixture as you add the cream.
- Pour cream and egg mixture into ramekins.
- Place the ramekins in a baking dish.
- Pour water into the baking dish. There should be enough water to cover the ramekins more than half way.
- Place baking dish in the oven.
- Let the crème brûlée bake for about 45 minutes.
- Remove crème brûlée from the oven and let cool on the counter for about 30 minutes.
- Place crème brûlée in the refrigerator for about an hour and a half.
- When ready to serve, distribute the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar among the ramekins.
- Use a torch to burn the sugar until it caramelizes.

That's the real recipe ! Alas, too many restaurants use whole eggs or add some milk instead of using only heavy cream.

Will a cigarette lighter work in place of a butane torch?

Porn is healthy though.
No really!
Is there any way to incorporate Brown rice into this to ruin it for wax?

Aww. That's lame. 
I never order creme brulee at restaurants because I'm just like "what! this is $6? I can just make it myself. pffft"

Maybe.

God damn, I was actually working on this but you beat me to it. But since I haven't written a food blog in weeks I can't blame you.
Looks great.
