Let’s make it.

Heat oven to 150°C. Cook caramel sugar with water until amber and divide carefully between four ramekins.
Warm milk and custard sugar until dissolved; cool slightly and whisk gradually into eggs without foaming.
Strain into ramekins; place in a deep tray with hot water halfway up the sides.
Bake 30–40 minutes until just set and centers reach 71°C. Cool, refrigerate at least 3 hours and serve with coffee.

A little kitchen note
