Flan is a traditional Mexican dessert and there are many versions. This one is prized for it's simplicity. If you've never made flan before, now is the time to try it.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour
Ingredients:
â¢1 cup and 1/2 cup sugar
â¢6 large eggs
â¢1 14oz can sweetened condensed milk
â¢2 13 oz cans evaporated milk
â¢1 teaspoon vanilla
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. You will need 6 ramekins or other specialty flan cook ware ( small corning ware dish? cup size )
1 cup sugar in warm pan over medium heat. Constantly stir sugar until is browns and becomes caramel. Quickly pour approximately 2-3 tablespoons of caramel in each ramekin, tilting it to swirl the caramel around the sides. Reheat caramel if it starts to harden.
In a mixer or with a whisk, blend the eggs together. Mix in the milks then slowly mix in the 1/2 cup of sugar, then the vanilla. Blend smooth after each ingredient is added.
Pour custard into caramel lined ramekins. Place ramekins in a large glass or ceramic baking dish and fill with about 1-2 inches of hot water. Bake for 45 minutes in the water bath and check with a knife just to the side of the center. If knife comes out clean, it's ready.
Remove and let cool. Let each ramekin cool in refrigerator for 1 hour. Invert each ramekin onto a small plate, the caramel sauce will flow over the custard.
