My mum used to make Creme Caramel at home, and they were so much better than the store bought packets. Although not the prettiest of desserts, it was the most simple and the most delicious. Very easy to make and so far has been a winner with everyone who has entered my home. You will need:
1) 2 cups of milk
2) 1 and 1/2 cups sugar
3) 1 tsp of vanilla [liquid]. Traditionally my mother would use 1/4 tsp of powdered cardamon, and 2 pinches of ground nutmeg.
4) 5 eggs
In a small saucepan put half a cup of sugar. Under medium heat caramelize. Keep your eyes on it, and don’t let it burn. Then in a blender put the eggs, milk, vanilla and 1 cup of sugar and mix well. Then take a glass oven dish [I took a glass loaf pan] and at the bottom place the caramelized sugar, and then the mixture in the blender. Back in a 375 degree oven for 30 minutes or until it solidifies and browns on top. Insert a clean knife and if it comes out clean, that means it’s done. Let cool and refrigerate before serving.

Salam. my khameer were a far cry from yours. at first the dough wouldn’t rise and then i added an “emergency dough” (principally the same but half the measurements). It rose but left a somewhat sour taste and only a few of them were hollow. :-( I’ll try in sha Allah again next week. but al hamdu lillah my husband still thanked me for them.
Yum! I make something similar but I found a cheat for the caramelized sugar – I “grease” the pan with honey. It changes the taste but I love honey so it works out well.
Wow I should try that–I love honey :) Thanks for the idea.

Alsalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuhu. For the creme caramel is the cardamom and nutmeg in addition to the vanilla or without the vanilla.? Jazakum Allahu Khair
Wa Alaikum Assalaam,
Either the vanilla, OR the cardamon and nutmeg. My friend used to just use vanilla, but my Mom used the cardamon and nutmeg [no vanilla]. You can try them, and see which one you like best.

does the creme caramel have to be baked by baine marie?
You mean in a water bath? No does not have to. I usually just place in an oven without the water bath.
