Flan (Caramel Custard)
Yield: 8 servings
5 large eggs
1 14 ounce can condensed milk
1 12 ounce can evaporated milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Caramel
1 cup granulated sugar
In a medium bowl beat eggs, add condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract. This can be done by hand. Electric mixer not necessary. Set milk mixture aside.
Pour sugar in medium saucer and place on stove. Cook at medium temperature stirring with wooden spoon until sugar dissolves and gets an amber color. ( Be careful, it gets very hot and you don't want to get burned). Immediately transfer to mold where flan will be made. Pour milk mixture through a strainer and into caramel mold. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour in bain-marie . This process keeps a crust from forming on the outside of the custard before the interior is fully cooked.
Enjoy! This is a wonderful dessert.
