Spanish Flan<\/h2>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t

\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t
\n\t\t
  • 1 cup granulated sugar<\/li>
  • 4 large eggs<\/li>
  • 1\u00a0\u2013 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk<\/li>
  • 1\u00a0\u2013 12 oz can evaporated milk<\/li>
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract<\/li><\/ul>\t<\/div>\n\t
    \n\t\t

    1. Place the sugar in a heavy saucepan and heat over medium-low heat until the sugar completely dissolves and forms a nice golden brown syrup.<\/p><\/li>

    2. Carefully pour the hot sugar syrup into the bottom of 6 ramekins (if you want individual desserts), or you can use an 8 or 9-inch round, glass baking dish to make one large flan.<\/p><\/li>

    3. Immediately swirl dish to evenly cover bottom with the syrup mixture. It will harden very fast, so work quickly.<\/p><\/li>

    4. Whisk the eggs in a large bowl until well blended.<\/p><\/li>

    5. Add the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract; whisk to combine thoroughly. It\u2019s important to make sure that the eggs are fully incorporated into the other ingredients.<\/p><\/li>

    6. Pour the egg and milk mixture over the sugar syrup in the ramekins or baking dish.<\/p><\/li>

    7. Cover with foil and place in a hot water bath \u2013 place the baking dish inside another oven-proof dish and fill with water until it comes about halfway up the side of the baking dish.<\/p><\/li>

    8. Bake in a preheated 350\u00b0 F oven for approximately 60 minutes; the flan is ready when a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.<\/p><\/li>

    9. Cool completely.<\/p><\/li>

    10. When ready to serve, run a knife around edges, then place plate, upside down, over the top of the flan; invert quickly. Gently lift off the baking dish and allow the syrup to run over the sides of the flan.<\/p><\/li><\/ol>\t<\/div>\n\t
