Flan Ingredients
Method
Flan Directions
- 1
Prepare the Caramel
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar and water. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves. Allow the mixture to boil without stirring until it turns a golden brown color. Quickly pour the caramel into a 10' round cake pan, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.

Make the Custard
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

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

Cool and Serve
Remove the flan from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan, invert onto a serving plate, and enjoy!
