Crema Catalana

As monstse-2009 says, this is the authentic Crema Catalana, which, unlike what many people think, is made with rice starch and not cornstarch or similar. It's very easy to make and has an amazing flavor. With these amounts, I made 8 small bowls, but you can use the same measurements for 4 people in regular-sized bowls.
