Crème Brûlée

5 egg yolks

2 cups heavy cream

1 vanilla bean, split down the center

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup raw sugar

1.Place 52/3-cup ramekins or custard cups (23/4 inches wide by 13/4 inches high) inside stoneware. Pour water around ramekins so that water comes halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Remove ramekins and prepare custard.

2.Whisk the egg yolks briefly, set aside. Place the cream, vanilla bean and sugar in a small saucepan set over medium heat. Stir until mixture begins to boil. Remove from heat and let cool, allowing vanilla bean to steep in the cream. When cool, remove bean, scraping out the seeds into the mixture. Very slowly, pour into the egg yolks, whisking well. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve.

3.Pour the mixture into the ramekins and place in stoneware. Cover; cook on High for 1-2 hours, or until custard is set but centers are still soft and jiggly. Carefully remove ramekins from stoneware, let cool, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

4.Spread tops of each custard generously with raw sugar and brûlée with a torch, gradually melting and browning the sugar in quick small, circles.
