Preparation:

Step 1
• Preheat oven to 150°C
Step 2
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the egg, yolks, and 1/2 cup sugar on low speed until combined. Meanwhile, heat the cream in a small saucepan until very hot to the touch but not boiling. With the mixer on low speed, slowly pour the cream into the eggs. Add the vanilla extract and orange liqueur. Pour the mixture into 6- to 8-ounce ramekins, filling them almost full.
Step 3
• Place the ramekins in a baking dish and carefully pour boiling water into the dish until they reach halfway up. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the custard stops moving when gently shaken. Remove the ramekins from the water bath, cool to room temperature, and refrigerate to set.
Step 4
• To serve, spread 1 tablespoon of sugar evenly over the top of the ramekins and heat with a flambé torch until evenly caramelized. Let stand at room temperature for 1 minute, until the caramelized sugar hardens.
