CARAMEL CUSTARD / oven style/ pressure cooker style

Ingredients :

Milk- 500 ml / 1/2 ltr

Sugar - 50 grams + 3 tblspn for making caramel

Eggs - 3

Vanilla Essence - 1 tblspn

Water - 1 tblspn

Method:

Preheat the oven to 190 Degree C / 375 Degree F.

Start by making the caramel. In a nonstick pan add sugar and 1 tblspn of water and swirl the pan to help it to melt down.

Let the caramel come to a boil allow it to bubble up till it turns golden brown. 

Don't stir the pan  which results in a sticky caramel. Turn off when it reaches honey colour. 

Pour this caramel in a baking pan and spread it evenly.

Now whisk eggs, sugar and vanilla till light and fluffy. Add in milk and mix well. Pour this through a sieve and pour it over the caramel.

Cover with aluminium foil.

Now take a bigger pan and fill it half way with water. Place the caramel pan inside that pan and bake it for 45 mins. 

For pressure cooker style :

Place the grid and pour little water 

Steam cook for 40-45 min.  

Allow it to cool a bit. Put into the fridge for around 3 hours.

Now release the sides with a knife and place a plate over the tin and holding the tin carefully,  invert the tin.Now tap the top of the tin carefully and lift it for a lovely caramel custard.
