1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
Mix the Flan Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

3
Make the Caramel
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of sugar and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves, then stop stirring and allow it to boil until it turns a golden amber color. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
4
Coat the Flan Mold
Immediately pour the caramel into a flan mold or individual ramekins, tilting to coat the bottom evenly before it hardens.

5
Combine Flan Mixture and Bake
Pour the flan mixture over the hardened caramel in the mold. Place the mold in a larger baking dish filled with hot water (water bath) and bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set and a toothpick comes out clean.
6
Cool and Chill
Once baked, remove the flan from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

7
Unmold and Serve
To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it. Invert onto a plate and let the caramel sauce drizzle over the flan. Slice and enjoy!
