earned a team state title.<br />

UIL offers high school students the opportunity to compete in 29 different academic competitions including accounting, computer science,<br />

news writing and robotics. UIL creates these competitions to complement academic curriculum and gives students the opportunity to show<br />

INGREDIENTS:<br />

3 tablespoons white sugar<br />

1 cup heavy cream<br />

3 egg yolks<br />

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract<br />

2 tablespoons white sugar, divided<br />

DIRECTIONS:<br />

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Whisk 3 tablespoons<br />

sugar and cream in a microwave-safe bowl until well combined; heat<br />

the mixture in microwave until warm, 1 to 2 minutes and whisk again<br />

to dissolve sugar. Whisk in egg yolks and vanilla extract until smooth.<br />

Pour cream mixture into 2 ramekins. Set ramekins into a roasting<br />

pan and pour in enough hot water to reach halfway up the sides of<br />

the ramekins. Bake in the preheated oven until creme desserts are<br />

set but still slightly jiggly when shaken, about 50 minutes. Remove<br />

ramekins from hot water and chill in refrigerator until cold, at least<br />

2 hours. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar evenly over the top of each<br />

dessert. Use a kitchen torch to lightly toast and melt the sugar<br />

topping until brown and bubbly, about 30 seconds. Let the sugar<br />

topping cool before serving. To serve, use a spoon to crack the crisp<br />

sugar open to reveal the creamy dessert underneath. Source: http://<br />
