    Bake for 45 mins - 1 hr. The custard should be just set in the centre, not runny.

  8. Remove from the oven & the water bath. Allow to cool then place in the fridge to get cold.

  9. Remove the ramekins from the fridge & dry the top of the custard with a napkin to remove any moisture. Sprinkle a little sugar on top, you should be able to see the custard through the sugar.

    Arrange the ranekins on a tray & place in the highest point of the grill. Grill for 5-10 mins until the sugar turns golden brown.
