Flan : Step-By-Step Recipe
Flan is a popular Spanish dessert, a creamy custard with a layer of soft caramel on top. It is both smooth and rich, often enjoyed after meals.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar (for caramel)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation Steps
- Make the caramel: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar until it turns golden brown. Quickly pour the caramel into a round baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom.
- Prepare the custard: In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs. Add the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Combine: Carefully pour the custard mixture over the caramel in the baking dish.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in a larger baking pan filled with water (water bath). Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 50-60 minutes, or until set.
- Cool and serve: Let it cool completely, then refrigerate. Serve by turning it out onto a plate, allowing the caramel to drizzle over the flan.
