Ingredients<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0150g granulated sugar<\/p>\n

\u2022 4 medium eggs, plus 2 medium egg yolks<\/p>\n

\u2022 100g caster sugar<\/p>\n

\u2022 600ml whole milk<\/p>\n

\u2022 1 tsp vanilla extract<\/p>\n

\u2022 Orange slices, grapes and raspberries, to serve<\/p>\n

Method<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To make the caramel, place the granulated sugar in a medium heavy-based pan with 3 tbsp cold water. Heat gently, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved in the water to form a clear syrup. Increase the heat and bring the syrup to the boil, without stirring, until it turns a deep golden caramel colour. Swirl the pan occasionally to prevent hotspots forming and the caramel burning.<\/li>\n
  2. Remove the pan from the heat and carefully pour the hot caramel into six individual ovenproof dishes (see TIP). Place the dishes in a roasting tin. Preheat the oven to 140C\/fan 170C\/gas mark 3.Whisk the eggs, yolks and caster sugar together in a large heatproof bowl. Pour the milk into a clean pan and bring to simmering point, then whisk the hot milk into the egg mixture. Stir in the vanilla extract then strain the mixture into a large jug and divide between the dishes.<\/li>\n
  3. Pour enough boiling water into the roasting tin to come halfway up the sides of the dishes. Bake for 18-22 minutes until just set. Remove from the oven and leave to cool, then remove from the tin, cover and chill for 4 hours or overnight.<\/li>\n
  4. To serve, run the tip of a knife round the edge of the set custard. Invert each one on to a small plate. Serve decorated with orange slices, grapes and raspberries.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
