Instructions
1
Heat the sugar in a small dry pan over medium heat, swirling (not stirring) until it melts into an amber caramel, then immediately divide between 2 ramekins, tilting to coat the base.
2
Whisk the skim milk, evaporated milk and condensed milk together in a bowl until fully combined.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk the whole egg and egg white with the vanilla extract and salt until just blended, taking care not to overbeat and introduce air.
4
Pour the milk mixture into the egg mixture in a slow stream, whisking gently, then strain through a sieve into a jug to remove any chalazae and ensure a silky set.
5
Pour the strained custard over the caramel in the two ramekins.
6
Place the ramekins in a deep baking dish and pour hot water into the dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
7
Bake at 160°C (325°F) for 35-40 minutes, until the custard is set at the edges but still has a gentle wobble in the centre.
8
Remove the ramekins from the water bath, cool to room temperature, then cover and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
9
Run a thin knife around the edge of each ramekin and invert onto a small plate, letting the caramel sauce pool over the top before serving.
