Heat oven to 300°F. In small heavy skillet or saucepan heat 1/2 cup sugar over medium heat, gently swirling pan (do not stir), until clear syrup forms and sugar just begins to turn a light golden brown (10 to 12 minutes)*. Immediately dip bottom of pan in cold water to stop cooking. Immediately spoon about 1 tablespoon mixture into 6 small (6 ounce) ungreased custard cups. Cool 15 minutes.
-
Meanwhile combine all custard ingredients in large bowl. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Pour mixture over caramelized sugar in custard cups, filling each 3/4 full. Place cups in 13x9 inch baking pan; fill pan with 1-inch hot water**.
-
Bake 1 hour or until custard is set. (Custard remains very soft - be careful not to over bake.) Cool 30 minutes; refrigerate at least 8 hours.
-
To serve; run knife around inside edges of cups to loosen custard. Invert each custard onto small serving plates.

* Melting and caramelizing sugar is tricky. Be sure to use a heavy pan and to watch the sugar closely or it will burn.
** Be sure to use a water bath when baking the custard or it will over bake and brown.
