Recipe - Cseresznyek Rumos Palacsintaban (Cherries In Rum Fritter)

One half cup Light brown sugar
1 One half cup Half and half
1 Vanilla bean; split
lengthwise
2 tablespoon Sugar
2 Whole eggs
1 Yolk

How to Prepare: Preheat the oven to 300 F. Spread the brown sugar on a
baking sheet and place in the oven for 10 minutes to dry. Remove from the
oven and press through a sift. Heat the halfandhalf and vanilla bean in a
saucepan until it just begins to boil. Set aside.

Whisk the sugar, whole eggs, and yolks, in a large bowl until just combined
(do not overmix). Slowly temper the hot halfandhalf into the egg mixture.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and stir over low heat until it coats
the back of the wooden spoon.

Divide the custard among 46 shallow Creme Brulee molds. Bake in a water
bath for 3540 minutes, until the sides are set and the center jiggles or a
skewer comes out clean.

Chill at least 8 hours or overnight.

Preheat the broiler. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the custards completely
covering the top. Place each dish under the broiler until caramelized.
