------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bay Leaf Pudding (Leche Asada con Laurel)

For the caramel: 1 cup (250 ml) sugar 1/4 cup (60 ml) water 1 bay (laurel) leaf

For the custard: 4 eggs 8 egg yolks 1 cup (250 ml) sugar 2 tsp (10 ml) vanilla extract 4 cups (1 L) milk 1 cup (250 ml) heavy cream 1 bay (laurel) leaf

To make the caramel, combine the sugar, water, and bay leaf in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until the sugar is amber colored. Remove the bay leaf and reserve. Pour the caramel into a 2 1/2-quart (2.5 L) baking dish, tilting it to coat the entire bottom and sides. Combine the eggs, yolks, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl and whisk until pale yellow in color. Add the milk and cream, stirring to combine thoroughly. Pour into the prepared baking dish, place the baking dish in a larger baking dish, and add enough water to come halfway up the side of the smaller baking dish. Float the remaining bay leaf in the center of the custard and bake in a preheated 350F (180C) oven for 1 hour. Cool to room temperature or chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Place the caramelized bay leaf on top of the custard, slightly overlapping the baked bay leaf. Serves 6 to 8.
