Flan Ingredients
Method
Flan Directions
- 1
Make the Caramel
In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Stop stirring and allow to boil until it turns a golden brown color, about 10 minutes. Quickly pour the caramel into a round baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.

Combine and Bake
Pour the custard mixture over the hardened caramel in the baking dish. Place this dish in a larger baking pan and fill the larger pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the flan dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 50-60 minutes, or until set.

Cool and Serve
Remove from oven and let cool. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan and invert onto a serving plate.
