Method
- 1
Heat the oven to 160°C (140°C fan). Boil the kettle for the water bath.
- 2
Melt the sugar and water in a pan over a medium heat without stirring for 6 to 8 minutes until deep amber. Pour into a 1.5 litre loaf tin or ring mould and tilt to coat the base.
8 min - 3
Blend the condensed milk, milk and eggs until completely smooth, then pour through a sieve into the tin.
- 4
Cover the tin with foil and stand it in a roasting tin. Pour in boiling water to come halfway up the sides.
- 5
Bake for 1 hour until set with a slight wobble in the middle.
60 min - 6
Cool, then chill for at least 6 hours. Run a knife round the edge and turn out onto a plate so the caramel runs over.
