  5. Pour custard mixture into ramekins.
  6. Pour water in bottom of baking sheet until it comes halfway up the ramekins.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes, or until just set. Do not allow to get brown.Cool ramekins on countertop, then chill for at least 2-3 hours, covered in plastic wrap. To serve, sprinkle 1 tablespoon over each ramekin of custard. Use a kitchen torch to quickly (but carefully) brown the sugar. There should be a thin, crisp surface of burned sugar on the top.
