Slowly melt the sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. When it is nice and golden, deglaze with approx. 100 ml of water and continue stirring diligently until the sugar pieces have dissolved. Put the caramel in a baking dish, ideally in a round shape with a hole in the middle or another round shape.
Mix the milkmaid, milk and eggs in a mixing bowl or blender until you get a homogeneous mixture. It doesn`t take long to be beaten. Then pour over the caramel.
Place the form in the oven on the tray and pour a few cups of water onto the tray. Bake at 180 ° C for about 1.5 hours.
Place in the refrigerator overnight and turn onto a plate with a small indentation before serving (because of the liquid caramel).
