Flan Ingredients
Method
Flan Directions
- 1
Prepare the Caramel
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves. Stop stirring and allow it to boil until it turns a golden brown color. Remove from heat immediately and pour the caramel into a round flan mold or individual ramekins, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside 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 and fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the flan mold. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 50-60 minutes or until 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 of the flan, invert onto a serving plate, and enjoy!
