This ultimate easy flan recipe has a special place in my heart, reminiscent of sunny afternoons spent at my grandmother’s kitchen, where the scent of caramel would fill the air, heralding the promise of a delicious ending to our family meals.
- 1 cup of sugar
- 6 large eggs
- 1 can (14 ounces) of sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 ounces) of evaporated milk
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
Melt the sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until it turns a golden amber color. Quickly pour the caramel into a round baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom evenly.
In a blender, combine eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth.
Pour the blended mixture over the caramel in the baking dish. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
Place the covered dish in a larger baking pan and add hot water to the pan to come halfway up the sides of the dish. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 60 minutes, or until set.
Let the flan cool, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Run a knife around the edges of the flan, and invert onto a plate. Serve chilled.
