directions: 'Preheat the oven to 325F and set rack in center of oven.  Set 12 custard
  cups (shallow cups work best) in a large pan that can hold a water bath.


  In a saucepan scald the milk and cream with the vanilla bean (slight scum on top).  Remove
  from heat and set aside.


  In a bowl combine the eggs and sugar.  Add the slightly cooled milk mixture.  Pour
  the custard through a strainer into the cups.  Pour hot water into pan to ½”.  Bake
  in oven for 40-45 min. or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.  Let
  cool.


  Place about 2 T. turbinado sugar evenly onto top of each custard.  Place under
  a broiler or use a torch to caramelize—watch carefully as it burns easily!'
