Flan Ingredients
Method
Flan Directions
- 1
Prepare the Caramel
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar and water. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Allow the mixture to boil without stirring, until it turns a golden brown color. Quickly pour the caramel into a round baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool.

Combine and Bake
Pour the custard mixture over the cooled caramel in the baking dish. Place the baking dish in a larger baking pan and fill the outer pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the flan dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 50-60 minutes, or until the custard is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool and Serve
Remove the flan from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan, place a serving plate on top, and invert it to release the flan. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top.
