| 3/4 cup | 148g / 5.2oz | Granulated sugar |
| 4 | Eggs | |
| 1 | Sweetened condensed milk - (14 oz) | |
| 2 teaspoons | 10ml | Vanilla |
| 1 cup | 237ml | Water |
Spread sugar evenly in bottom of heavy skillet. Cook over medium-low heat, watching carefully and lifting or tilting pan as necessary to melt sugar evenly, until completely melted. Do not stir. Continue cooking, stirring gently, until golden brown.
Pour caramelized sugar into 1-quart baking dish. Tilt to distribute caramel evenly over bottom of dish.
Beat eggs in medium bowl. Add condensed milk and vanilla; stir well. Add water; stir well. Strain custard mixture into baking dish coated with caramel.
Place dish in larger pan containing 1 inch hot water. Bake at 325 degrees until center jiggles and knife inserted halfway between center and edge comes out clean, about 1 hour 40 minutes.
Remove baking dish from hot water bath; let cool on wire rack. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, about 2 hours.
To serve, run thin knife blade around edge of custard. Place serving plate over top; invert custard onto plate. Hold baking dish over plate so caramel drips onto custard.
Yields 6 to 8 servings.
