--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  4              large  egg yolks
  1           teaspoon  granulated sugar
     1/8      teaspoon  salt
  2               cups  2% low-fat milk
  1                     vanilla beans -- 3" or 1 tsp vanilla
  3        tablespoons  sugar
     3/4           cup  dry milk
     1/4           cup  light brown sugar -- packed
  1 1/2      teaspoons  water

Combine first 3 ingredients in a medium bowl; stir well with a whisk. Set
aside.	
Pour reduced?fat milk into a medium saucepan. Scrape seeds from vanilla
bean;
add seeds, bean, 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, and dry milk to pan. Heat
mixture
over medium heat to 180° or until tiny bubbles form around the edge (do
not boil),
stirring occasionally with a whisk. Discard bean. 
Gradually add hot milk mixture to egg mixture, stirring constantly with a
whisk. Divide milk mixture evenly among 6 (4 ounce) ramekins or custard
cups. Place ramekins	in a 13 x 9?inch baking pan; add hot water to pan to
a depth of 1 inch. Bake at 300° for 1 hour or until center barely moves
when ramekin is touched. Remove ramekins from pan; cool completely on a
wire rack. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or overnight.
Combine brown sugar and water in a 1 cup glass measure. Microwave at HIGH
30 seconds; stir until sugar dissolves. Microwave at HIGH 60 seconds; pour
evenly over each dessert, quickly tipping ramekins to coat tops of
brulees. (There will be a thin layer of melted sugar.). Let harden. Yield:
6 servings (serving size: 1 custard).
