Caramel Custard (Crème Caramel):
Before making custard, heat 1/2 cup sugar in heavy 1-quart saucepan over low heat 10 to 15 minutes, stirring constantly with wooden spoon, until sugar is melted and golden brown (sugar becomes very hot and could melt a plastic spoon). Immediately divide syrup among six 6-ounce custard cups before it hardens in saucepan; carefully tilt cups to coat bottoms (syrup will be extremely hot). Let syrup harden in cups about 10 minutes. Make custard as directed in step 2; pour over syrup in cups. Bake as directed in steps 3 and 4. Cool completely; cover and refrigerate until serving or up to 48 hours.
To unmold, carefully loosen side of custard with knife or small spatula. Place dessert dish on top of cup and, holding tightly, turn dish and cup upside down. Shake cup gently to loosen custard. Caramel syrup will drizzle over custard, forming a sauce.
