7. Place the flan pan in a larger baking dish and fill the larger dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the flan pan.
8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set but still jiggles slightly in the center.
9. Remove the flan from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
