INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
In a saucepan, cook the sugar and water until it is a dark golden brown. Pour into 8 inch (20 cm) brioche pan. Allow to cool.
Add the sugar, salt and vanilla extract to the hot milk. Stir until the sugar has dissolved. In a bowl, beat the eggs and carefully whisk in the hot liquid. Pour into the brioche pan.
Prepare a water bath by laying a kitchen towel at the bottom of a large baking dish. Place the brioche pan in the dish and fill halfway up with hot water. Bake for about 45 minutes. The water should never boil.
Remove the pan from the oven and water bath. Let cool and refrigerate. Run the blade of a knife around the edge of the pan, invert and serve cold on Le Creuset dinnerware.
