3/4 c. sugar
1 qt. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
6 eggs
1 c. sugar

Caramelize 3/4 cup sugar in souffle dish (melt over low heat, stirring constantly, until the syrup turns a golden brown. If your souffle dish cannot be used with direct heat, use a heavy pan and pour syrup immediately into an oven proof souffle dish).

Scald milk, add vanilla. Beat eggs and 1 cup sugar together. Add milk mixture and beat again. Pour over caramelized sugar. Bake at 300 degrees in a water bath for 30 to 60 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Refrigerate.
