Ingredients

• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 5 large Eggs
• 1 can (14 oz) Sweetened condensed milk
• 1 can (12 oz) Evaporated milk
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 tablespoon Pure vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly until it liquefies and turns a golden caramel color. This should take about 8-10 minutes.

Step 3

Quickly pour the caramel into a round 9-inch baking dish, tilting the dish to evenly coat the bottom. Set aside and let the caramel harden while preparing the custard.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, whole milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.

Step 5

Slowly pour the custard mixture over the hardened caramel in the baking dish.

Step 6

Place the baking dish inside a larger roasting pan. Carefully pour hot water into the roasting pan until it comes halfway up the sides of the flan dish, creating a water bath.

Step 7

Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until the flan is set in the center but still slightly jiggly when shaken.

Step 8

Remove the flan dish from the water bath and allow it to cool to room temperature. Then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

Step 9

Once thoroughly chilled, run a knife along the edges of the flan to loosen it. Place a large plate upside down over the flan dish and quickly invert to release the flan onto the plate.

Step 10

Slice and serve Miss Carmen’s flavorful flan chilled. Enjoy!
