Ingredients:
 - 6 egg yolks
 - 110g white sugar
 - 1 tsp vanilla essence
 - 2 1/2 cups thickened cream
 - 2tbs brown sugar

Method:
1)  Preheat oven to 150'C

2)  Beat egg yolks, 4 tablespoons of the white sugar and vanilla in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until thick and creamy.

3)  Stir the cream in a medium saucepan over a low heat until it almost comes to the boil.  Remove from the heat and add cream to egg yolk mixture.  Mix to combine.

4)  Pour cream mixture into the top of a double boiler or a medium bowl set over a medium saucepan of simmering water.  Stir until mixture lightly coats the back of a spoon, then pour into your prepared dish(es).

6)  Before serving, combine remaining white sugar with the brown sugar in a small bowl.  Sift the sugar mixture evenly over your custard (or individual dishes) and cook under a preheated griller for 2 minutes, or until the sugar caramelises.  Remove from the heat and cool for 10mins before serving.
