1
Make the Caramel
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and water. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves.
2
Cook the Caramel
Allow the mixture to come to a boil without stirring. Continue boiling until the mixture turns a golden brown color, about 8-10 minutes.
3
Pour the Caramel
Quickly pour the caramel into a round cake pan or flan mold, tilting the pan to evenly coat the bottom. Set aside to cool and harden.

4
Blend the Custard Ingredients
In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and well combined.
5
Pour the Custard Mixture
Carefully pour the custard mixture over the hardened caramel in the pan.
6
Prepare for Baking
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the flan pan in a larger baking dish. Fill the baking dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the flan pan.
7
Bake the Flan
Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the custard is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
8
Cool the Flan
Remove the flan from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
9
Serve
To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it. Invert onto a large plate, allowing the caramel sauce to drizzle over the flan.
