Grandma's Cream Caramel Pudding Recipe

This homemade Cream Caramel Pudding recipe is SO EASY. My grandma's recipe actually called for 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup water but I found it too sweet for my taste. I cut it back to 1/2 cup only.

To make the caramel:

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup water

To make the pudding:

1 can condensed milk (My all time fav: Nestle Ideal or Carnation)
1/2 can water
5 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
Pinch of salt

Make it:

1. To make the caramel you have to heat the sugar and water in a pan. Place it over low heat until brown and once ready, remove it from the heat and immediately pour it into a 7 inch cake tin. Shortcut: You can just straight away caramel the sugar and water in the cake tin on the stove. #EasyPeasyTipsForLazyPeople

2. Next, whisk together the milk, water, eggs, vanilla essence and salt.

 3. Strain the custard carefully and then pour onto the caramel. 

4. Place you cake tin in the steamer and steam until firm, approximately half an hour.

5. TADAAA! Gently loosen the side of the creme caramel with butter knife. Put a large serving dish (with a slight rim to contain the caramel juice) upside down over your pudding. Holding the plate and cake tin firmly with your fingers, carefully and quickly flip them over, so that the plate is the right way up and the pudding plops gently down with the caramel sauce.
