Make the caramel

Cook until golden
Continue to cook the sugar mixture without stirring until it turns a deep amber color, about 8-10 minutes. Carefully watch to avoid burning.

Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted comes out clean.

Cool and chill
Remove the flan from the water bath and allow it to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Serve
To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan. Invert onto a serving plate to release the caramel sauce. Cut into slices and enjoy!
