Cooking Recipe Caramel Flan
Recipe Ingredients
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 300F. In a small saucepan, combine the
granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon water. Stir over moderate heat
until the sugar turns a medium caramel color, about 3 minutes.
Working quickly, pour the caramel into six (6-oz.) custard cups;
don't worry if they're not evenly coated.
2. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Whisk in the brown sugar,
vanilla and almond extract. Gradually whisk in the evaporated and
whole milk. Strain the mixture through a sieve and then pour it into
the custard cups. Place the cups in a baking pan and add enough hot
water to reach halfway up the sides. Bake for about 1 hour or until
set. Let the flans cool to room temperature in the water bath. Cover
and refrigerate overnight.
3. Run a knife tip around the edge of each flan and invert onto
dessert plates. Serve cold.
