Walnut 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 surface of the pan. Add a small amount of water (just enough to moisten the sugar) and leave it on the heat until it starts to bubble. Don't stir.

   
2. 2

   Once the caramel is ready, pour it into the ramekins and spread it so it coats all the sides. To check if the caramel is at the right point, dip a piece of paper into it — it should come out with a copper color.

   
3. 3

   For the flan, put the room-temperature milk, the sugar, the eggs and the walnuts in a blender. Blend for a few minutes.

   
4. 4

   Pour the mixture into the ramekins and place them in a flat baking pan.

   
5. 5

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

   
6. 6

   Remove from the oven and let it cool at room temperature. Then refrigerate.
