1
Make the Caramel
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Stir gently to combine and heat over medium heat.
2
Cook until Golden
Allow the mixture to cook without stirring until it turns a golden amber color. This will take about 8-10 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning.
3
Pour Caramel into Mold
Immediately pour the caramel into a round 9-inch flan mold, tilting the mold to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.

4
Blend Ingredients
In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and well combined.
5
Pour Mixture
Pour the flan mixture over the hardened caramel in the mold.
6
Prepare for Baking
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the flan mold in a larger baking dish and fill the baking dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the flan mold.
7
Bake the Flan
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
8
Cool and Chill
Remove the flan from the water bath and allow it to cool at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
9
Serve
To serve, run a knife around the edge of the flan mold, then invert onto a serving plate. The caramel will flow over the flan. Slice and enjoy!
