Egg Flan

Step by step

1. 1

   Starting with the caramel, place a skillet over medium heat and add the sugar, spreading it evenly across the pan. Add a small amount of water just to moisten it and leave it on the heat until it bubbles. Don't stir.

   
2. 2

   When the caramel is ready, pour it into the ramekins and spread it so it covers the entire bottom. To check if the caramel is ready, dip a piece of paper into it — it should come out with a copper color.

   
3. 3

   For the flan, put the eggs in a bowl, then add the sugar and the milk. Whisk or stir until well combined. Tip: use ingredients at room temperature. This will help the sugar dissolve.

   
4. 4

   Pour the mixture into each ramekin and place them in a baking pan or similar flat container.

   
5. 5

   Fill the pan with water until it covers half or ¾ of the ramekins. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 45 minutes.

   
6. 6

   Once the time is up, remove from the oven and let it rest at room temperature. Once cool, store in the refrigerator.
