Flan Ingredients
Method
Instructions
Prepare the caramel
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 cup of granulated sugar until it becomes a golden brown liquid. Quickly pour the caramel into a round baking dish, tilting the dish to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool.
Bake the flan
Pour the custard mixture over the cooled caramel in the baking dish. Place the dish in a larger baking pan and fill the larger pan with hot water to create a water bath. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 60 minutes or until set.
Cool and serve
Remove the flan from the oven and allow it to cool completely. 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!
