Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 1 hour
Serves: 8

Ingredients

1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
6 large eggs
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar and water over medium heat.
3. Cook while stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture turns golden brown to form caramel.
4. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the maple syrup.
5. Pour the hot caramel into a 9-inch round cake pan or flan mold, swirling to coat the bottom.
6. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, condensed milk, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
7. Pour the custard mixture over the caramel in the prepared pan.
8. Place the pan in a larger baking dish and fill the dish with hot water about halfway up the sides of the flan pan to create a water bath.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is just set.
10. Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature.
11. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
12. To serve, run a knife around the edges and invert onto a serving plate.

Storage

Store the flan covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
