Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line an oven-safe skillet or baking pan with aluminum foil.
  2. 2 Poke potato skin all over with a knife; place in the prepared skillet.
  3. 3 Cook in the preheated oven until very tender and easily pierced with a knife, about 1 hour. Set aside until cool enough to handle but still very warm.
  4. 4 Scoop potato flesh into a bowl; mash with the back of a spatula until smooth and no lumps remain. (You can also use a potato ricer.) Add butter; stir until melted and combined. Stir in cream, salt, and sugar until smooth. Cover bowl; refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours.
  5. 5 Stir in flour, in several additions, until dough can be kneaded by hand, adding enough flour to form a soft, but not too sticky, dough. You need to be able to roll it out fairly thin without it falling apart.
  6. 6 Wrap dough with plastic wrap; refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
  7. 7 Divide dough into 8 portions. Dust each portion with flour and roll out on a well-floured kitchen towel to 1/8-inch thick, or thinner.
  8. 8 Heat a very lightly buttered nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lefse; cook, poking surface lightly with a fork, until golden brown blisters form, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; keep covered with a towel. Repeat with remaining lefse; stack onto plate. Serve warm.

Instructions

  1. 1 Whisk together egg yolks, cream, and vanilla in a small bowl until thoroughly combined; set aside. Process flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor until combined, about 3 seconds.
  2. 2 Add butter and pulse until a coarse meal forms, about 12 pulses. Add egg mixture and pulse until mixture starts to clump together, 10 to 12 pulses. Dough will be crumbly but should hold together when squeezed.
  3. 3 Transfer dough to a clean work surface, and press into a single mass. Divide dough evenly into 2 portions. Pat each half into a 1-inch-thick disk. Tightly wrap each dough disk in plastic wrap. Chill dough until firm, at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
  4. 4 Place 1 dough disk on a lightly floured work surface. Let dough sit at room temperature 10 minutes to soften. Lightly grease removable bottom only of a 9 1/2-inch tart pan with butter. Roll dough to a 13-inch circle, dusting dough with flour as needed to prevent sticking. Brush off excess flour from dough.
  5. 5 Carefully roll dough around rolling pin, then unroll over the prepared pan. Press dough into the bottom and up the sides of the pan, trimming any excess dough.
  6. 6 Alternatively, press dough into pan without rolling. Patch any cracks with excess dough.
  7. 7 Prick crust all over with a fork. Chill, loosely covered with plastic wrap, 1 hour.
  8. 8 While tart shell chills, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  9. 9 Line crust with parchment and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes.
  10. 10 Remove weights and parchment. Return to the oven and continue to bake until the bottom of crust is golden brown and looks dry, 10 to 15 minutes.
  11. 11 Transfer tart shell to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 40 minutes.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Place 6 ramekins on a towel set in a roasting pan at least 3 inches deep.
  2. 2 Stir together cream and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, and cook until very hot, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Whisk together egg yolks, vanilla, and Irish cream until combined. Slowly add 1/3 of the hot cream, whisking it in 2 tablespoons at a time until incorporated. Once you have incorporated 1/3 of the cream, you can stir in the remaining hot cream without fear of the mixture curdling.
  3. 3 Pour custard into the ramekins, then fill roasting pan with boiling hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake in preheated oven until set, 50 to 60 minutes.
  4. 4 Once the custard has set, place ramekins on a wire rack, and allow to cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Cover, and refrigerate until cold, about 4 hours. Custards may remain refrigerated until ready to serve.
  5. 5 Unwrap the custards, and sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of superfine sugar onto each. Gently shake the custards so the sugar coats the entire top surface, then tip the custards to a 45-degree angle and shake off excess sugar.
  6. 6 Using a small hand torch, melt the sugar by making short passes over top of the custards with the flame not quite touching. Continue melting the sugar until it turns deep brown. Once the sugar has melted and turned to caramel, the cold custard underneath will harden the sugar into a crispy crust. Serve immediately. Alternatively, the sugar-dusted custards may be browned underneath the broiler in the oven.

  1. 1 Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Move an oven rack to the lowest position.
  2. 2 Whisk egg yolks, 1/4 white sugar, and vanilla together in a heatproof bowl until smooth. Bring cream just to a simmer in a saucepan over medium-low heat; gradually whisk hot cream into egg yolk mixture (a little at a time to prevent the mixture from scrambling), whisking continuously until combined.
  3. 3 Bring a couple of inches of water to a simmer in a saucepan over medium-low heat; set the bowl with cream mixture over the saucepan to form a double boiler. Cook, gently stirring with a wooden spoon, until cream mixture thickens enough to easily coat the back of the spoon.
  4. 4 Pour hot cream into a heat-proof baking dish or individual ramekins set on a rimmed baking sheet. Place in the preheated oven; bake until mixture sets but has a slight jiggle, about 20 to 30 minutes.
  5. 5 Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
  6. 6 To make the topping: Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Combine 2 tablespoons white sugar and brown sugar in a small bowl; sprinkle evenly over cold crème brûlée.
  7. 7 Heat under the preheated broiler until sugar melts and browns, 2 to 3 minutes; return immediately to the refrigerator and chill until sugar is set, about 15 minutes.
