I stumbled upon this recipe weeks ago and couldn’t stop thinking about it obviously.. you sure know how to make a recipe sound classy and charming!

For those who are interested – after the first time I made this, I swapped out demera for plain old raw sugar. I’m in Australia, demera is $4.99 for 180g – and hard to find, while plain old raw sugar costs around $2.99 for a 2kg bag – and I can’t differentiate in taste with the finished product. I have swapped out the muscavado once for ‘dark’ brown sugar – and it wasn’t nearly as good. Definitely hunt down muscovado, its worth it! I have my 9th batch chilling in the fridge now. Bring on dessert!!

These took way longer than 40 minutes to set up for me in the oven. I finally cranked the heat a bit. They were crazy delish though, although I accidently over salted because i only had course sea salt. All in all though, super yummy!
Thanks so much!!
Gillian

Would you recommend a glass or metal baking pan? And, to clarify, you leave the dish towel into the pan and so when you pour the hot water in, you are soaking the towel? I'm afraid the baking the towel in the oven will start a fire mishap, so just wanted to make sure I had the step right before I tried it. Thanks!

I just recently discovered your blog (crazy, I know) and have been reading it from the beginning. I adore your writing and am so excited for all your success- you deserve it!
And these yummy little pots were the first recipe of yours I've tried… thank you for sharing it!

I’ve been wanting to buy Demerara every since I read some < HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Skin-Folk-Nalo-Hopkinson/dp/0446678031/ref=pd_bbs_sr_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1226974548&sr=8-5" REL="nofollow">short stories by Nalo Hopkinson<>, but it would take up quite a bit of room for something I’d occasionally put in tea. Now I have a proper reason. *g*I’ve been reading through your back catalog (can’t remember whether I’ve commented and said hello, yet), and I very much love the way you eat – I only wish I had the knack of baking. But Pots de Crème have been on my list of things that seem within my grasp.I think this is the second time, though, that I have noticed you having trouble gauging color in a dark pan. Perhaps you have discovered the secret by now, but if not I have a helpful hint. I just every now and then dip a teaspoon into the liquid so that I have a bright background on which to see the color. No need to buy new pans.

It’s been sitting on my counter for a while now waiting to be made. It was so velvety and the perfect shade of butterscotch. I could hardly wait for it to cool. Thank you for sharing such a lovely recipe.

I just want to say that I first made these pots de creme three years ago and I think they are one of the main reasons my boyfriend loves me as much as he does. Every time I make them I win a few more hearts. I’m so happy that they are favorites of yours now too!

I made them at my apartment before family dinner, but I liked them so much, I hoarded and made my family share. Good thing they all thought I was being sensitive to their diets.
