Ingredients
For the topping
- 1/2 cup+2tbsp (120g) sugar

For the custard
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups (500ml) milk
- 1/4 cup (50g) sugar
- 1 vanilla bean
- 1/2 tsp cornstarch (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F/160°C.
- Place the sugar and water in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat, and cook without stirring until the sugar dissolves and gets a caramel color. Immediately, pour the caramel into a 7-inch (18 cm) cake pan coating the sides too.
- Pour the milk into the same saucepan. Add the vanilla bean seeds and the pod into the milk. Heat the milk but do not bring it to a boil, then set aside to infuse for a few minutes.
- In a separate bowl beat the eggs with the sugar. Add the cornstarch. Pour the milk over the egg mixture.
- Pour the custard carefully over the prepared pan and place the pan in a larger pan. Pour hot water into the bottom pan to come halfway up the sides. Bake until golden for about 45 minutes to an hour.
- Cool completely. Then cover and refrigerate for at least a couple of hours. To serve turn out onto a plate.
