Flan



My friend Claudia taught me how to make this super yummy flan. It is my favorite flan and super easy to make!

1 can of eagle brand sweetened condensed milk
1 can evaporated milk
¾ cup sugar
4 eggs

Put sugar in 9 inch round cake pan and set over high heat. Stir sugar and allow to caramelize. Cook until becomes bubbly. It will smoke a little bit. Let it cook until it almost smells burnt. This gives it a wonderful taste! Remove from heat and tip in all directions in order to coat bottom and sides of pan with sugar. Set aside.


Blend condensed milk, evaporated milk and eggs in blender. Pour over caramelized sugar. Place cake pan into water bath (use another larger round cake pan and fill approx. 1/4 with water) and cook at 400 F for 1 hour.

Let cool and remove from pan. Serve completely cold with drizzling of caramelized sugar.
