Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1/4 cup sugar in a small saucepan over medium-high, swirling (don't stir) until amber, ~4 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Pour caramel into a loaf pan or small baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside.

  3. Step 3

    Blend remaining sugar, milk, condensed milk, eggs, vanilla, and salt until smooth, ~1 minute.

  4. Step 4

    Pour custard mixture over caramel. Place dish in a larger pan filled with hot water halfway up the sides.

  5. Step 5

    Bake at 350°F until custard is set at edges but center still jiggles slightly, 12–14 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Cool completely, then refrigerate at least 2 hours before running a knife around edges and inverting onto a plate.
