Flan Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Caramel
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar and water. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then stop stirring and let it cook until it turns a golden amber color. This should take about 10 minutes. Be careful not to burn the sugar.

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

Chill and Serve
Once cooled, refrigerate the flan for at least 4 hours or overnight. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan and invert onto a serving plate. Enjoy your Flan!
