My Favorite Flan

As a little girl I learned from my mother this delicious flan recipe, which I hope you like, you can add different flavours such as almond or rum, you only have to substitute it for vanilla

Ingredients

1 can condensed milk

1 can evaporated milk

1 cup of whole milk

1 Tbsp. vanilla

3 eggs

1 cup of sugar for the caramel

How to

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

 You will need one medium size mold and one bigger to put it in for water bath.

Pour 1 cup sugar in warm pan over medium heat.

  Constantly stir sugar until is browns and becomes caramel. Quickly pour  caramel into the medium mold, tilting it to swirl the caramel around the sides as much as possible, reheat caramel if it starts to harden.

In a mixer or with a whisk, blend the eggs together. Mix in the milks , then the vanilla. Blend smooth after each ingredient is added.

Pour custard into mold. Place it in a large mold, it can be glass or ceramic baking dish and fill with about 1-2 inches of hot water. Bake for 45 minutes in the water bath and check with a knife just to the side of the center. If knife comes out clean, it's ready.
