Ingredients:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 6 large eggs
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Serves: 6
Cooking Tips:
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to melt the sugar. This will prevent the sugar from burning.
- Be careful when pouring the hot caramel into the ramekins. The caramel is extremely hot and can cause serious burns.
- To prevent the flan from cracking, make sure to let it cool completely before removing it from the ramekins.
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the sugar over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar has melted and turned a golden brown color.
3. Pour the caramel into 6 ramekins, swirling to coat the bottom of each ramekin.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, and vanilla extract.
5. Pour the mixture into the ramekins, filling them about 3/4 of the way full.
6. Place the ramekins in a large baking dish and fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the flan is set.
8. Remove the ramekins from the baking dish and let them cool to room temperature.
9. Once the flan has cooled, run a knife around the edges of the ramekins to loosen the flan.
10. Invert the ramekins onto a plate to release the flan.
