Anyone got an awesome crème brulée recipe?

[Landlord]

Hello,

As the thread title suggests... does anyone have an amazing tasting recipe that'll be pretty simple to do (in terms of "purity of taste" rather than cack-handidness) in "large" quantities (20 at a time?).

Thanks!

Brake Brothers?

Yeah - that'd go somewhat against our "freshly made" claim!

however, I havent been able to make one that comes close to a proper french one!

I'll give that one a go... thanks!

I often do a cheat version... Buy one pot of M&S luxury vanilla custard

Thank you. However, as I'll be doing it for commercial gain I think buying non-wholesale (i.e. guaranteed stock & delivered) and M&S prices would make it uneconomic. I'll check it out though.

Thanks all!

but you need cook them in a shallow dish rather than using a ramakin.

Why's that, out of interest?

You can make a kind of 'cream' from cashew nuts which you could use to substitute in the recipe above.

Cool! Thanks!

I agree... after visiting france many times and ordering it, they serve in shallow dishes rather than deep.

It's quite rich so you don't want too much... unless your a complete custard addict!

Have a look on UKTV food or search online using James Martin (he loves cooking desserts) or Marcus Wearing as he's a trained pastry chef by trade.

Good call on Marcus - I've always liked his recipes. James Martin's a good one too.

Cheers again, all!
