1
Make the Caramel
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar until it turns into a golden brown caramel. Quickly pour the caramel into the bottom of a flan mold or individual ramekins, tilting to coat the bottom.
2
Mix the Flan Mixture
In a blender, combine the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
3
Combine and Bake
Pour the flan mixture over the caramel in the mold. Place the mold in a larger baking dish filled with hot water (water bath). Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set.
4
Cool and Unmold
Let the flan cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. To serve, run a knife around the edges and invert onto a plate.
