Cardamom Crème Brûlées

The distinctive flavors of cardamom and vanilla infuse these simple custards, which are ideally baked a day ahead of serving so they are fully chilled before you caramelize the lightly sugared tops. That way, the custard will still be cold when your guests break through the brittle top.
