So, I ended up with 4 cremes brulee. DH and I ate one between us, before brulee-ing, just to see what the creme bit tasted like.
I bought a chef's blow torch. I got home, found some lighter fuel, filled it up, and decided to try brulee-ing one of the 3 remaining brulees. I was surprised that I seemed to be able to control it quite well. The top was fairly evenly toasted. Then I realised I had forgotten to put the sugar on. I was "caramelising" the custard itself. Ha ha ha.
I put some sugar over the damage, and tried again.
It wasn't great, but it looks ok. when it's cooled, I'll crack the brulee and see how it's come out. And I will brulee the remaining two cremes for pudding tomorrow.
