Our Famous Flan Recipe

Flan Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Caramel

   In a saucepan over medium heat, add the sugar. Stir constantly until the sugar melts and turns a golden brown color. Carefully pour the caramel into a round baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to harden.

2. 2

   Mix the Custard

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth.

3. 3

   Bake the Flan

   Pour the custard mixture over the hardened caramel in the baking dish. Place the baking dish in a larger baking pan filled with hot water (water bath). Bake 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.

4. 4

   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, invert onto a plate, and allow the caramel to drizzle over the top.
