Method

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place a large shallow pan of water inside oven. Heat sugar with a few drops of water over medium heat in a heavy saucepan. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until caramel stage is reached. Immediately pour hot syrup into a one-piece tube pan (do quickly as caramel begins to harden very rapidly.) In a large bowl beat eggs well, add milk, water, vanilla and salt. Pour mixture into tube pan over caramel. Cover with foil and place in the pan of water in oven. Bake 40 minutes until knife comes out clean when inserted. Watch very carefully, checking every 3-5 minutes after 25 minutes in the oven. Do not overcook. Loosen edges with a knife and invert onto a plate.
