Caramelized Sugar Layer

For the caramelized top, sprinkle a thin layer of sugar over the custard and use a kitchen blowtorch or broiler to melt and brown the sugar until it forms a crisp, dark layer.

Custard Filling

Mix eggs, sugar, milk, or cream in a mixing bowl. Pour the mixture into a pie crust or baking dish. Bake in a water bath at a low temperature until the custard is set but still jiggy in the center.

Crust Preparation (If Applicable)

Combine flour, butter, and sugar in a food processor until the mixture resembles bread crumbs. Press into a pie dish and bake until lightly golden before adding the custard filling.

Garnishing

Garnish the finished dessert with edible flower petals or zest to enhance its appearance and add a hint of flavor.
