1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/3 c. superfine sugar

Combine sugar and the water in medium heavy-based saucepan; stir over heat, without boiling, until sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil; boil, uncovered, without stirring, until mixture is a deep caramel color. Remove from heat; allow bubbles to subside. Pour caramel into a deep 8-inch round cake pan; cool completely.
Whisk eggs, extract, and extra sugar in large bowl.
