Heat the cream in a pan until it boils. Prepare a dry caramel by heating the sugar in a heavy-based pan over a high heat. Just before it burns~-it should be reddish brown in color, and with the medium foam subsiding.

Whisk the milk lightly with the egg yolks. Away from the heat, add this mixture to the caramel mixture. Stir well, strain, and allow to cool to room temperature.
Place in the refrigerator overnight to set. The following day, heat the oven to 160°C/3I0°F/Gas Mark 2 ½ and divide the caramel among 6 ramekins.
Place in a roasting tin and pour in water to reach halfway up the sides. Cover with tin foil and bake for 10-15 minutes. When shiny and elastic, custards are ready.
To serve, scatter with sugar and cook with a blowtorch until crisp and golden.
