Ingredients
  • CARAMEL:
  • ½ cup caster sugar
  • 2 Tbsp water
  • FLAN:
  • 2½ cups milk
  • 1 vanilla pod
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 3 whole eggs
  • 3 egg yolks
Instructions
  1. First, we have to make the caramel. So in a small saucepan over low heat, put the sugar and let it dissolve, turning the saucepan frequently, to avoid burning and to ensure even coloring. Your caramel should be golden brown;
  2. Remove the caramel from the heat and add the water and swirl the saucepan again. Distribute this caramel evenly into six ½cup ramekins. Set aside to cool;
  3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F;
  4. In another saucepan, add the vanilla pod and the milk, and bring to a boil. Turn off heat and remove the vanilla bean;
  5. In a bowl, combine the eggs, yolks and sugar together. While whisking, slowly pour the boiling milk over the egg mixture. You have to stir well so it won't curdle;
  6. Fill the ramekins with this mixture and place ramekins into a roasting pan with enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins;
  7. Bake until the custard is set and firm to the touch, about 35 minutes;
  8. Remove ramekins from the pan and let cool;
  9. To serve, unmold flan onto individual plates, letting the caramel drizzle over the top.
