--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      cups          heavy cream
   6      tablespoons   white granulated sugar
   5      large         egg yolks
   1      tablespoon    pure vanilla extract
                        Granulated sugar

Scald cream in heavy-duty saucepan. Beat yolks, sugar and vanilla with
electric mixer until pale and thick. SLOWLY pour hot cream into egg mixture
while beating at the lowest speed. Ladle into custard cups and place in
roasting pan. Pour very hot water into pan two-thirds up the sides of the
cups. Bake at 325  for 35-45 minutes. Remove cups from pan and let cool. DO
NOT OVERBAKE - the middles can still be 'nervous'. Chill if holding for any
length of time before serving. Just before serving, sprinkle tops with
granulated sugar and caramelize using either a propane torch or popping under
a broiler until sugar is browned and bubbly.  Garnish with a few raspberries
or other fruits if desired. Makes either 4 6-ounce servings or 6 4-ounce
servings.
