What are flan recipes?

Answer 1

= Flan = * 1/2 cup white sugar * 2 cups milk * 2 eggs, beaten * 2 egg yolks, beaten * 3/8 cup white sugar

# Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). # In a heavy bottomed saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup sugar until golden. Carefully pour hot sugar evenly into four oven-proof ramekins or custard cups, tilting cups to coat bottoms evenly. # In another saucepan, bring milk just to boiling over medium heat. Stir hot milk, a little at a time, into beaten eggs and egg yolks, until well combined. Stir in sugar. Pour milk mixture evenly into ramekins. # Line a roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel. Place ramekins on towel, inside roasting pan, and place roasting pan on oven rack. Fill roasting pan with boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins. # Bake in preheated oven 40 minutes, until set. Let cool, invert and serve.

Bake until a knife inserted in center comes out fairly clean, about 1 hour. Do not let water boil. Cool on a wire rack; refrigerate, covered, overnight. To unmold flan: Heat 1-inch water in a large skillet to boiling; turn off heat. Dip a knife in water and run around edge of flan. Dip bottom of souffle dish into water for a few seconds. Place a serving dish over top and invert onto dish. To double recipe, make it twice. For individual custard cups, increase sugar for caramel to 1 cup.
