Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup sugar for caramel
  • 1 can 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can 12 oz evaporated milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a saucepan, melt sugar over medium heat until golden caramel forms.
  3. Pour caramel into the bottom of a round baking dish, tilting to coat evenly.
  4. In a bowl, whisk eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  5. Pour custard mixture over the caramel in the dish.
  6. Place the dish in a larger baking pan filled with hot water (water bath).
  7. Bake for 45–50 minutes until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
  8. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature, then refrigerate at least 4 hours.
  9. To serve, run a knife around edges and invert onto a plate.

Notes

  • Use a water bath to prevent cracking and ensure a smooth texture.
  • Allow flan to chill thoroughly for best slicing.
  • Can be garnished with fresh berries or whipped cream.
