--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      c             Heavy cream
   6      tb            White granulated sugar
   5      lg            Egg yolks
   1      tb            Pure vanilla extract
                        Granulated sugar

Scald cream in heavy-duty saucepan. Beat yolks, sugar, and vanilla
with electric mixer until pale and thick. Slowly pour hot cream into
egg mixture while beating at the lowest speed. Ladle into custard
cups and place in roasting pan. Pour very hot water into pan 2/3rds
up the sides of the cups. Bake at 325 F for 35 to 45 minutes. Remove
cups from pan and let cool. Do not overbake, the middles can still be
'nervous'. Chill if holding for any length of time before serving.
Just before serving, sprinkle tops with granulated sugar and
caramelize using either a propane torch or popping under a broiler
until sugar is browned and bubbly. Garnish with a few raspberries or
other fruits if desired.

Yield: 4 Servings
