Ingredients
Scale
- 100g brown sugar
- 2 tbsp water
- 500ml milk
- 4 large eggs
- 100g sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Make the butterscotch caramel: In a saucepan, melt brown sugar with water until golden and bubbling. Stir in butter until smooth. Pour into ramekins and swirl to coat the bottom.
- Prepare the custard: Heat milk gently until warm. In a bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, and vanilla. Slowly pour in warm milk while whisking.
- Strain and pour: Strain the mixture into the caramel-coated ramekins for a silky texture.
- Bake in water bath: Place ramekins in a baking dish filled halfway with hot water. Bake at 160°C (320°F) for 45–50 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
- Cool and chill: Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Unmold and serve: Run a knife around the edge, invert onto a plate, and let the butterscotch sauce flow over the top.
Notes
- Add a pinch of sea salt for salted butterscotch flavor.
- Use coconut milk for a dairy-free twist.
- Garnish with whipped cream or toasted nuts.
