4 teaspoons essence of choice

11 tablespoons Sugar

0.5 cup Water

For the custard, mix milk eggs and 150 grams sugar together till smooth. To prepare caramel, put 11 teaspoons sugar in a pot with enough water just to get it wet. The amount of water will depend on the size of pot. Heat and stir dill sugar dissolves. Bring to soft boil during two minutes. Coat each custard dish with 1 tablespoon sugar. Put the custard mix in the custard dishes. Put on deep oven tray with enough water to 2/3 height of the custard dish. Cook in oven 1 1/2 hour at 190 degrees. Test if done with knife. If desired, to keep the tops from having a slightly toasted thin layer, cover while in oven. Once done, let cool and store in refrigerator. Serve with whipped cream or fresh fruit.

Any essence can be used: vanilla, orange, lemon, raspberry... I use deep metal custard dishes. They work best. [I posted this recipe.]
