Creme Caramel problem/question ...?!
My problem and my recipe is as follows
3 eggs, 1 yolk, 1 cup milk, 1 cup cream, 1/2 cup sugar, flavourings
I whisk half the sugar with my eggs and the rest with the milk, cream, falvourings (vanilla, frangelico)
I temper my eggs with the scalding milk (i let it come to a boil and take it right off)!. I temper by whisking in a tiny little milk at a time so as to not shock my eggs too much!. Slowly, i incorporate everything together and fill my ramekins!.
I do the whole water bath thing!.
The oven is one of those 'this oven doesn't work' ovens!. I try my best to get it down to around 350-400 (is it really there, i don't know)!. It's not blistering hot, obviously!.
My end result is this!. The creme caramel eaisly comes out of the ramekin, you taste the various flavours and it's silky smooth, no lumps, nothing!. The problem is, there is a hint of egg!. What is the problem!? The oven!? The temperature of the milk (tempering)!. How do I completely get rid of the hint of egg, if possible)

Answers:
try using 2 eggs this time and possibly putting the oven at a higher temp!. If your oven doesn't feel hot enough everytime your raise the temp then obviously you found your culprit =)Www@FoodAQ@Com
is it any way that you can just eliminate the eggs!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
