1
Make the Caramel
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and water. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then stop stirring and allow the mixture to boil.
2
Monitor the Color
Continue boiling until the mixture turns a golden amber color. This should take about 8-10 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.
3
Pour into Flan Mold
Once the caramel is ready, quickly pour it into a round flan mold or cake pan, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.

4
Combine Ingredients
In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and sugar. Blend until smooth and well combined.
5
Pour Mixture over Caramel
Carefully pour the milk and egg mixture over the hardened caramel in the flan mold.

6
Prepare Water Bath
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the flan mold into a larger baking dish, then fill the baking dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the flan mold.
7
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

8
Cool
Once baked, remove the flan from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
9
Unmold and Serve
To unmold, run a knife around the edge of the flan mold, then place a serving plate over the top and flip it over. Gently lift the mold to release the flan. Serve chilled.
