Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

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

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Place a kettle of water to boil for a water bath.
  2. Melt sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until amber. Pour into a 9-inch round pan and tilt to coat bottom.
  3. Whisk eggs in a bowl until smooth. Add condensed milk, evaporated milk, vanilla, and salt. Mix gently.
  4. Pour custard over caramel in the pan. Cover pan with foil.
  5. Place pan in a larger baking dish. Pour hot water into the baking dish until it reaches halfway up the flan pan.
  6. Bake 50–60 minutes, until set but slightly jiggly in the center. Cool, then chill at least 4 hours.
  7. Run a knife around edges, invert onto a plate, and serve.
