1
Make the Caramel
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently until the sugar dissolves. Stop stirring and let it boil until it turns a deep amber color, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.
2
Coat the Baking Dish
Quickly pour the caramel into the bottom of a round baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden while you prepare the flan base.

3
Blend Ingredients
In a blender, combine the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, and sugar. Blend on high until smooth and well combined, about 1-2 minutes.
4
Pour into Baking Dish
Carefully pour the flan mixture over the hardened caramel in the baking dish.

5
Prepare the Water Bath
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the flan baking dish into a larger baking pan and fill the larger pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the flan dish. This water bath helps the flan cook evenly.
6
Bake
Place the baking pans in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set and a knife inserted comes out clean.
7
Cool Down
Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool in the water bath for about 30 minutes. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.

8
Unmold and Serve
To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it. Invert onto a serving plate, allowing the caramel sauce to drizzle over the top. Slice and enjoy!
