  4. add can of condensed milk, vanilla and almond extracts and mix
  5. preheat oven 350 degrees
  6. 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
  7. immediately pour caramel into heat proof mold and tilt to coat bottom evenly
  8. slowly pour egg and milk mixture over caramel
  9. cover mold with aluminum foil or with lid if it has one..just makesure it is also heat proof
  10. place covered mold into a large baking dish
  11. fill large baking dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the smaller mold
  12. bake for about 50 minutes...knife inserted in center should come out clean...otherwise bake a bit longer
  13. 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***
  14. 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
  15. refrigerate atleast 2 hours or until cooled completely

Its beautiful!!!!!!! i like flan thank you


This is really good and the taste is out of this world...I make the same mixture in my chocolate flan cake.


The technique for making the caramel and cooking in a water bath are excellent. I do not, however like using canned product (sorry).


Great instruction and picture too! I love flan; I will try this one soon.


Thanks for posting this. I love flan and I can't wait to try it.
