Flan Ingredients
Method
Flan Preparation
- 1
Make the Caramel
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the granulated sugar until it turns a golden brown color. Be careful not to burn it. Once melted, quickly pour the caramel into a round baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.

Prepare the Custard Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

Combine and Bake
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 in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set and a knife inserted comes out clean.

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