Ingredients:
For the Caramel:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
For the Flan:
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Make the Caramel:
- In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and turns a golden amber color. Be careful not to let it burn.
- Quickly pour the caramel into a round baking dish or individual ramekins, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.
- Prepare the Flan Mixture:
- In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the Mixture:
- Pour the flan mixture over the hardened caramel in the baking dish.
- Bake in a Water Bath:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the flan dish in a larger baking pan and fill the outer pan with hot water, creating a water bath.
- Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set (a knife inserted should come out clean).
- Cool and Serve:
- Remove the flan from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- To serve, run a knife around the edges, invert onto a plate, and let the caramel sauce flow over the top.
