Simple Pudding

Hey guys, Rain here!
So today I was in the mood for some dessert, but all I had were some basic ingredients.
Luckily for me, this delicious pudding only uses simple ingredients that almost everyone has!
So this is what you will need.

Ingredients: (4 Servings)
Caramel:
-4 tbs sugar
-1 tbs water
-2 tbs hot water

Custard:
-2 eggs
-250 ml milk
-5 tbs sugar

Other things you will need:
-4 pudding molds or ramekins
-Unsalted butter

Directions:
First we preheat our oven to 300 F.
Butter the inside of your pudding mold so later on the pudding wont stick.

Next we are going to make the carmel sauce.
Take a sauce pan and put it over medium heat.
Add the sugar and 1 tbs of water.
Heat until it starts to bubble up and turn into a light caramel color.
Next add the hot water and mix by tilting the pan back and forth.
Then poor equal amounts into each of the pudding molds.

DO NOT OVERCOOK THE CARAMEL SAUCE. (I did this the first time and it turned out tasting extremely bitter -____-.)

Now we are going to make the custard pudding.
Crack the two eggs into a bowl and mix lightly, try not to make the eggs foam up.
Next in a sauce pan heat up the milk and stir in the sugar until completely disolved. Do not bring the milk to a boil just heat until the sugar disolves.
Next stir the milk into the eggs and then put through a strainer.
Pour the egg mixture into the molds on top of the caramel.
Now cover the molds with aluminum foil, this will make sure the top of the pudding will not dry out while baking.

To cook the pudding, place the molds in a baking pan filled halfway with hot water and place in the oven.
Set the timer for 1 hour 30 minutes.
The water will steam the pudding.

After the pudding is done cooking take it out of the oven and let cool.
Flip the pudding molds upside down and the pudding should come out easily becuase we buttered them earlier.
Enjoy. :)
Happy Cooking!
