Flan Recipe

How to make it

---

• beat eggs in a bowl
• add evaporated milk and keep beating
• strain the mixture through a strainer
• add can of condensed milk, vanilla and almond extracts and mix
• preheat oven 350 degrees
• heat cup of sugar over medium-high heat until melted/ caramelized ***do not burn sugar...continue to stir until it turns brown and all sugar is melted
• immediately pour caramel into heat proof mold and tilt to coat bottom evenly
• slowly pour egg and milk mixture over caramel
• cover mold with aluminum foil or with lid if it has one..just makesure it is also heat proof
• place covered mold into a large baking dish
• fill large baking dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the smaller mold
• bake for about 50 minutes...knife inserted in center should come out clean...otherwise bake a bit longer
• once done cool flan completely ***if using glass mold carefully place on a wire rack or towel but avoid by all means anything cold because glass mold will crack into pieces***
• once cooled place large plate over mold and carefully flip over to invert the flan ***make sure plate is also large enough to hold extra caramel that drips down the sides of the flan
• refrigerate atleast 2 hours or until cooled completely
