Flan Ingredients
Method
Flan Directions
- 1
Prepare the Caramel
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil without stirring, until it turns a golden amber color. Carefully pour the caramel into a round flan mold or individual ramekins, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Allow it to cool and harden.

Combine and Bake
Pour the custard mixture over the hardened caramel in the flan 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 and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool and Serve
Remove the flan from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. To serve, run a knife around the edges and invert the flan onto a serving plate, allowing the caramel to drizzle over the top.
