 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    9                    egg yolks
    2 1/2  cups          heavy cream
      3/4  cup           half-and-half
      3/4  cup           granulated sugar
    6      tablespoons   demerara sugar
 
 Preheat oven to 225 degrees.  Place egg yolks in mixing bowl.  Heat cream,
 half-and-half and granulated sugar until warm.  Slowly stir into the yolks.
 Place six ramekins in a tray and fill with above mixture to the top.  Fill
 tray two-thirds of the way up with hot water.  Bake for 1-1/2 to 2 hours, or
 until set.  Remove and chill.  Place one tbsp.  of Demerara sugar on the top
 of each ramekin.  Glaze under a very hot broiler until brown, chill again and
 serve.  The reason the oven temperature is kept low in the baking of this
 delicious dessert is to keep the water from boiling.  If the water boils, your
 eggs may scramble when cooking.
