caramel custard

Had some milk that I needed to use up so I tried making caramel custard for the first time.

This what the Japanese call purin (pudding)

The recipe I tried makes 6 but we don't need 6 around here, nor did I want to use 6 eggs, so I cut the recipe down to make 2.

Plus, my oven isn't that big and I don't have a pan large enough to make a water bath for 6 jars.

The recipe starts by making the caramel and then goes on to make the custard.

It was my first time making caramel and I should have read up more about how to do so from the internet because I did all the things you shouldn't do...

Despite my failures, I salvaged some of the caramel for the bottom of the jar.

The custard itself was on the softer side, but everything tasted good.

The caramel had a little bitterness to it and the custard was rich and creamy.

Oh and it was a nice way to use the Oui yogurt jars too.

At least now I know how to do this and will definitely try again when the weather gets cooler.
