There is no way in the world that this recipe would serve 8. I have a set of professional-grade creme brulee ramekins, and I was barely able to fill 4 of them. Also, the custard did not set up until I added a 5th egg yolk. Tastes fine now, but 4 of the 8 people I invited for dinner will not be having dessert. Good think I made shortbread!
