Preparation

Step 1

Directions
Caramel
With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F).
In a saucepan, heat the sugar and water until it turns golden brown. Meanwhile, warm a Bundt pan of approximately 3 ½ in (24 cm). Using a silicone brush, paint the interior with the caramel.
Custard
In a saucepan, heat 1/2 cup of sugar and the water until it turns golden brown. Remove from the heat and slowly add the cream. Reheat to ensure that the sugar is fully dissolved. Add the milk.
In a bowl, whisk by hand the eggs with 1/4 cup of sugar. Whisk in the hot egg mixture. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Pour the egg mixture into the Bundt pan.
Line a roasting pan with a dishtowel or other cloth. Place the Bundt pan in the roasting pan and add enough boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the Bundt pan. Bake until just set, 1 hour 15 minutes.
