Creme brulee is made by melting sugar over a flambé, which is a French culinary technique.  To do it, you should probably preheat your oven to medium-high, and also turn on your stovetop’s gas burner.  You’ll need a pan, a small bowl of cream, some sugar, and a flame.  Try to ensure your flame is not actually touching the pan, and avoid letting the flame come anywhere near the cream!  You should pour some of the cream in a little bowl and let it sit to warm up, then very carefully pour that warmed cream into the bottom of your saucepan, taking care to avoid any spills.  Put a thermometer in the saucepan and start adding the sugar.  Keep stirring the mixture as the sugar dissolves, and use the flame to heat the mixture to 220°C (430°F), which will be a little over the boiling point of water.  The sugar should melt, become an amber color, and the mixture should thicken, but you should be careful not to burn it or let it get too hot!  Once it’s reached the right temperature, turn off the burner and pour the sugar-cream mixture into little

Do you want to make the traditional dessert creme brulee? It’s done by caramelizing sugar, and then combining it with egg yolks and cream.  Here are the general steps you would take:

1.  Whip the egg yolks together until they’re thoroughly mixed.  The goal is to get them to stiffen up a little.
2.  Heat the cream until just past boiling.
3.  Gradually stir in the sugar, allowing it to caramelize (in an oven, if you want the process to go faster).
4.  Add the heated cream to the yolks.
5.  Blend it all together.
