Basic Creme Brulee - Southern Living Recipe

Ingredients

2 cup whipping cream
5 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup light brown sugar -- firmly
1 packed


Directions

Combine the first 4 ingredients, stirring with a wire whisk until
sugar dissolves and mixture is smooth. Carefully pour the egg mixture
evenly into 5 (5x1) round baking dishes or custard cups. Place in a
roasting pan large enough to accomodate the dishes and add 1/2-inch
of water to the roasting pan. This step creates a water bath to
prevent curdling. Bake at 275 for 45 to 50 minutes or until almost
set. Cool the custards in the water in the pan set on a wire rack.
Remove from pan when cooled, cover and refrigerate overnight. When
ready to serve, sprinkle about 1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar evenly
over each custard; place each custard on a cookie sheet or jelly-roll
pan. Broil 5 inches from heat. If using an electric oven, leave door
partially open. Broil until the sugar melts. Let stand 5 minutes to
allow sugar to harden.

NOTES:

Handle with care. These are extremely hot. Place custards as close to
heat source as possible. To achieve a "cracked" effect, broil
custards in a pan full of ice. Dixie Crystals sugar is reputedly the
best for making this dessert. ***When finished cooking, the center
will still be slightly liquid.

The History of Recipes

We can follow the history of written recipes back into distant history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, generally, these ancient records were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.

Later, we have a couple of recipe books from the 1300s - a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these are not about the spicy food that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the rich and powerful of that time.

Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new foods and spices caused a torrent in manuscripts on cookery, some of which are now in academic collections.

The arrival of television brought us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books.

Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our web site.
