Instructions

In a large pot over a low to medium flame, heat the sugar and water until the sugar bubbles and caramelizes and becomes a deep copper color, about 6 minutes. Reduce the heat to as low as possible and slowly add the half-and-half. The mixture will sputter and foam dramatically as you add it, and the sugar will immediately harden but it will gradually melt again and you'll be able to mix it into the dairy.

In a heat-proof mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the reserved 1/4 cup of sugar until the mixture lightens in color, to a pastel yellow. Slowly ladle a few cups of the hot dairy into the mixing bowl and whisk together, to temper your yolks. Slowly pour the yolks back into the pot, whisking as you do so.
