Flan Ingredients
Method
Flan Preparation
- 1
Make the Caramel
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the granulated sugar until it turns a golden brown. Carefully swirl the pan to ensure even melting. Once melted, quickly pour the caramel into the bottom of a round baking dish, tilting to cover the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.

Prepare the Flan Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Combine and Bake
Pour the flan mixture over the hardened caramel in the baking dish. Place the 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 the flan is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Cool and Serve
Remove the flan from the oven and the water bath. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight). To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan, invert it onto a serving plate, and drizzle with the caramel sauce.
