Creme Brulee
Creme Brulee. Just before serving, sprinkle the tops with white granulated sugar and shake off the excess. Place under broiler til caramelized or use a propane torch to burn the tops. Part of the fun of Creme Brulee comes from the crispiness of the burnt top compared to the creaminess of the custard.
