I cooked the syrup for 11 minutes, it was golden a little bit and I poured it quickly into the ramequins. To cook the creme 12 minutes at LOW, it was not set at all. I added more times at low. And even after that, it was not set. So I put it at HIGH for near 3 minutes. And it was set. When I inverted them in the plates, there was the syrup but no color. Maybe I did something wrong. I don't know. I wish it would have worked out perfectly. But the taste is great. DH loved it also. Thanks Twissis.

I am an American transplanted from Dallas to Iceland by marriage to a native Icelander & I retired to become his "Kitchen Queen". We love to entertain our family & friends, so I have an eclectic collection of recipes. I especially love simple, easy-fix, flexible & make-ahead recipes - BUT also like challenging myself on occasion. I enjoy baking & food photography. I am devoted to the "More is Always Better Principle" & apply it liberally to bacon, butter & garlic. I can have ingredient issues due to availability here in Iceland & my DH is medically diet-restricted from some ingredients as well. Either situation might require me to modify a recipe, but I will do my best to be true to your recipes & fair/honest in my reviews. Mary Pat (aka twissis)
