4. Scrape seeds from Vanilla into cream then discard vanilla pod.
5. In another bowl, whisk egg yolks with 1 tbsp of the sugar until sugar dissolve.
6. Slowly whisk in cooled cream (if it is not cool, yolks will scramble), then strain thought a fine sieve.
7. Add 2 teaspoons PAMA.
8. Divide custard between 4 shallow baking dishes, each about 1/2 cup in capacity.
9. Place dishes in a baking pan, then place pan in oven.

12. Cover cooled custards with plastic wrap.
13. Chill in refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
14. Before serving, sprinkle 1 1/2 tsp sugar on each custard and use a kitchen blowtorch to caramelize tops, holding torch at an angle (flame should barely touch surface) to brown sugar.
15. You can also brown the sugar in a preheated broiler, taking care to turn the gratin dishes to avoid hot spots.
