FLAN RECIPE

Ingredients for four servings:

150 g sugar

2 eggs

2 egg yolks

5 dl milk

5 ml vanilla extract

Procedure:

In a small kettle, heat 40 g of sugar with 5 ml of water until the mixture turns brown. Pour the mixture into 4 gelatin molds. Move the molds around so that the mixture coats the interior. Set aside.

Mix the eggs, sugar, milk, and the vanilla extract.

Pour the mixture into the molds. Put the molds over a deep pan with water (double boiler) for 1 hour in a 175 degree c oven.

Keep the water in the pan at the same level by adding boiling water.

Cool and put it in the refrigerator. Unmold the flan before serving.

Notes:

You can substitute liquor for some of the milk to make the flan richer. Personally, I use 25 cl of milk and 25 cl rompope (Mexican egg nog).

Be careful of the sudden change in temperatures. You have to do it fast as the mixture hardens very quickly.
