Ingredients

  • sugar

  • 2 cups milk

  • 2 eggs

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

  • In a pan over medium, heat 1/2 cup sugar until it melts and becomes an amber color. Watch it because it can burn.
  • In a bowl beat eggs and vanilla. Next, in a pan, heat milk and 1/4 cup sugar.  Dissolve sugar in milk. When it simmers add milk to eggs slowly so as not to cook the eggs. 
  • When caramel is ready, pour into ramekins or small baking loaf pans. Let cool and it will harden.  Once it hardens add milk mixture.  
  • Place containers in a baking pan large enough to fit the ramekins or loaf tins. Carefully, fill a large baking pan with hot water more than half way.  
  • Bake in preheated 375 F oven for 45-60 minutes.
  • Leave cool then place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.  Next, detach flan from edges of pan and scrape off top of flan to remove film.
  • Shake slightly to make sure it has detached then place a larger plate over the flan and carefully and quickly flip.
