- Beat the egg yolks with 1/4 c. of sugar till thick. Strain cooled half-and-half into the Large eggs, stirring constantly.
- Reheat the custard mix in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly till it thickens slightly and coats the back of a wooden spoon. Allow to cold slightly.
- Pour the custard into four 1-c. ramekins. Allow custard to set, then sprinkle each with a thin layer of sugar and caramelize under a very warm broiler or possibly using a mini acetylene torch till dark amber in color.
