Ingredients

1 cup and 1/2 cup sugar

6 large eggs

1 14oz can sweetened condensed milk

2 13 oz cans evaporated milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

You will need 6 ramekins or other specialty flan cook ware and a large baking pan to put them in.

Pour 1 cup sugar in warm pan over medium heat.

Constantly stir sugar until is browns and becomes caramel.

Quickly pour approximately 2-3 tablespoons of caramel in each ramekin, tilting it to swirl the caramel around the sides.

Reheat caramel if it starts to harden.

In a mixer or with a whisk, blend the eggs together.

Mix in the milks then slowly mix in the 1/2 cup of sugar, then the vanilla.

Blend smooth after each ingredient is added.

Pour custard into caramel lined ramekins.

Place ramekins in a large glass or ceramic baking dish and fill with about 1-2 inches of hot water.

Bake for 45 minutes in the water bath and check with a knife just to the side of the center.

If knife comes out clean, it's ready.

Remove and let cool.

Let each ramekin cool in refrigerator for 1 hour.

Invert each ramekin onto a small plate, the caramel sauce will flow over the custard.
