steps
- 1.
Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C) and place a deep baking dish filled halfway with boiling water on the bottom rack.
- 2.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until well combined and slightly frothy.

In a separate saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it begins to steam. Remove from heat before it reaches a boil.

Gradually pour the warm milk into the egg mixture, whisking continuously.

To prepare the caramel syrup, in a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium-high heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture turns golden brown. Pour the caramel syrup evenly into the bottom of each pudding mold or ramekin.

Carefully pour the custard mixture over the caramel syrup, dividing it equally between the molds.

Place the molds into the baking dish with boiling water and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Remove the molds from the water bath and let them cool at room temperature.
