Ginger Pots de Crème

Pots de crème (poe de krem) get their name from the little pots with lids that are traditionally used to bake them. The molds are expensive, however, and have only one use, so the custards are baked in small ramekins here. Because pots de crème call for a mixture of milk and cream, they are halfway in richness between crème caramel and crème brûlée. Here, the custards are flavored with ground ginger.
