Prep time: 15 minutesCook time: 1 hourServes: 8
Ingredients
1 cup granulated sugar
6 large eggs
14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
12 oz can evaporated milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole milk
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the granulated sugar while continuously stirring until it turns a golden caramel color. Pour immediately into a 9-inch round baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom evenly.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, and whole milk until smooth.
4. Pour the custard mixture over the caramel in the baking dish.
5. Place the filled baking dish in a larger baking pan. Pour hot water into the larger pan to a depth of about 1 inch, creating a water bath.
6. Carefully transfer to the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted comes out clean.
7. Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
8. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it, and invert onto a serving plate.
Storage
Store flan covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheating
Flan can be gently reheated by placing it in a warm water bath or microwaving individual slices for a few seconds until just warm.
