Recipe and technique are basically the same. So the most important thing when dealing with just a few ingredients is the quality of it. Use real vanilla beans, it makes a BIG difference, since it's the major flavor in this dish. (I've had some bad ones before, old or just poor quality. Not all vanilla are equal, smell it, and bend it before using) Eggs and milk should be organic. This is the major body of this dish. Sugar should be cane, not beet or any other stuff. Water should be distilled, like a pure clean canvas to work on. Check out Cook's Illustrated/America's Test Kitchen on PBS, they're like a university of "pro"fessors/scientists/cooks. They test and retest every possible technique, ingredients, and give you the results, good, bad and ugly. I own CIA school book, Thomas Keller The French Laundry, Le Cordon Bleu, I have over 30 cookbooks, but I mostly turn to them for advice. They cross reference EVERYTHING, cookbooks, chefs, great-grandma's recipes, restaurants, EVERYTHING, and I still cross reference them with all my other cookbooks. And they're about 90% accurate, so for an easy way out check them out. Here's just an idea of what they do. Classic Crème Caramel The Problem: What many people love about crème caramel is the caramel. And while we can't deny its appeal, what most concerned us when we decided to embark on a search for a really great crème caramel was the custard. The Goal: For us, what made a perfect crème caramel was texture. We wanted a custard that was creamy and tender enough to melt in our mouths, yet firm enough to unmold without collapsing on the serving plate. We were also looking for a mellow flavor that was neither too rich nor too eggy. The Solution: The most important part of the recipe, we discovered, is the proportion of egg whites to egg yolks. Too many whites produced a rubbery, almost solid custard; too few and our custard collapsed. The choice of liquid was next, and because we were making a classic crème caramel, our choices were limited to milk, heavy cream, light cream, and half-and-half. Equal parts milk and light cream gave us just the amount of rich creaminess we wanted, acting as a foil to any egginess. Creating a custard that's creamy and smooth also depends on maintaining a gentle heating environment; this was provided by baking the custard in a water bath, a traditional procedure for custard. HAVE FUN!!ENJOY!
