Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350F (175C).
Step 2
Find a round glass baking dish with about 9 inches diameter. You need outer pan too.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt sugar, stirring constantly. If you want you can add a tablespoon of water. As soon as sugar becomes golden brown and liquid remove it and pour over the baking pan. Don’t wait otherwise you will get dark and hard caramel which is useless. Cover the sides of the pan with caramelized sugar too. Cool it until is cracked and cold to touch. Set aside.
Step 4
Blend eggs, both milks and vanilla extract in an electrical blender.
Step 5
Add flan mixture into pan. Cover the pan using double aluminum foil. To be sure that steam doesn’t penetrate into pan cover it by lid too.
Step 6
Pour water in outer pan half way through.
Step 7
Bake flan for about 60 min.
Step 8
When it is done cover it by plastic foil and remove to the fridge for overnight.
Step 9
When ready to serve remove it from the fridge, give the pan a gentle shake to loosen the flan from the pan’s side or use a knife. Place a plate on top and flip from top to bottom. When you remove the pan, some caramel will start to fall down over flan, some will stay on the top.
Step 10
Serve flan with a cup of coffee, the best Puerto Rican one.
