Ingredients

1 Preheat the oven to 150°C. Bring the cream and vanilla seeds to a gentle simmer in a saucepan over a medium heat.

2 In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and white sugar until pale and fluffy. Pour the cream into the egg mixture while whisking.

3 Return the mixture to the heat and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat.

4 Strain, then divide between four ramekins.

5 Place the ramekins in an ovenproof dish and half-fill the dish with water. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and chill for 3 hours.

6 To make the topping, heat the caster sugar in a pan over a medium heat until golden. Pour over the tops of the brûlées. Allow to set for 1 minute. Serve with the salted caramel sauce.

7 To make the salted caramel sauce, combine the butter, sugar and syrup together in a saucepan over a medium heat, swirling to combine. After about 2 minutes the mixture should begin simmering gently. Add the cream, vanilla and salt and swirl to combine. Stir gently and serve with the crème brûlées.
