When you are ready to serve:
1)Preheat the oven to BROIL at 190°C or 375°F
2)Sprinkle liberal doses of the brown sugar onto the brûlée; remember to be generous!

4) Remove the dishes and let cool
5) Enjoy!

ADDITIONAL NOTES - Serving size: 6 - Only put the brown sugar when you are about to serve the brûlée or else the brown sugar will dissolve and turn into liquid - I didn't have a torch so I used the oven instead and the results were the same, just takes more time
