Method
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the granulated sugar until it turns golden brown.
- Once the sugar is caramelized, quickly pour it into the bottom of your baking dish, tilting the dish to coat the bottom evenly.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the custard mixture through a fine mesh strainer into the prepared baking dish.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a water bath by placing the flan dish in a larger baking dish and filling it with hot water halfway up the sides of the flan dish.
- Bake the flan in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
- Once baked, carefully remove the flan from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature.
- After cooling, refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
- To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it and invert it onto a serving plate, allowing the caramel to drizzle over.
Notes
Let the flan chill overnight for the best texture and flavor.
