Prepare the Caramel
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar and water. Stir gently until the sugar is dissolved.

Continue cooking without stirring until the mixture turns a deep amber color, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat immediately to prevent burning.

Quickly pour the caramel into a round flan mold or individual ramekins, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.

Prepare the Custard Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until well beaten.

Combine and Bake

Place the flan mold into a larger baking dish and fill the baking dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the flan mold.
- 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the custard is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool and Serve
Remove from the oven and let cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
