Do not let it boil. Pour the custard into 6 individual ramekins or souffle dishes, filling nearly to the brim. Stand the ramekins in a shallow baking dish. Pour hot water to come 2/3's up the sides of the ramekins. Put the baking dish in a preheated oven at 250 F for 30 to 40 mins until the custard is just set. Remove from the oven and when quite cold cover each custard with a thin even layer of granulated sugar. Brown uniformly under a hot broiler. Cool before serving. Serves 6.

NOTES : These are very rich. They are good served with a soft fruit like strawberries or raspberries.
