After not seeing eye to eye last week, Martha and I decided to take a break :)
But that doesn't mean I've taken a break on baking... yet. I'm keeping my word on baking at least once a week and today, ventured out of Martha's book and made one of my favorite desserts - crème brûlée - did you know that's French for "burnt cream?" I didn't :P I use to almost always order it at restaurants if I saw it on a menu, no matter how full I was from dinner and other times, would roam the streets looking for a bakery or dessert shop that would sell it to satisfy my craving. I never realized how easy it was to make at home! If you invest in a small kitchen torch and some ramekins, you're good to go and can make it just the way you like. Personally, I like it in a shallow ramekin with an extra thick crispy layer. Yummmm! The torch is fun to use too. I could definitely get use to "no-flour" baking... this is definitely something I would be more comfortable making for you all, so long as you're ok with eating just egg yolks and heavy cream!
