1

Preheat oven to 325°F. To make the caramel, combine sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan. Stir over medium heat, without boiling, until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil. Boil, without stirring, until golden brown. Pour into an 8 inch round cake pan, tilting pan to coat base.

For the custard, bring milk, cream and spices to a boil in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 15 mins. Discard spices.

Combine eggs, egg yolks, sugar and vanilla in a bowl. Gradually whisk in milk mixture until just combined. Strain into cake pan over caramel. Place pan in a deep baking dish with enough boiling water to come halfway up sides of pan. Bake for 50 mins, or until custard is just set.
