Make the Caramel Sauce
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of water. Cook over medium heat, swirling the pan occasionally until the sugar dissolves and turns a golden brown color. Be careful not to let it burn.

Bake the Flan
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the baking dish in a larger baking pan filled with hot water to create a water bath. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set and a knife inserted comes out clean.

Cool and Serve
Once baked, remove the flan from the oven and let it cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. To serve, run a knife along the edges of the flan, invert onto a serving plate, and let the caramel sauce drizzle over the top.
