Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Create the caramel by melting 1 cup of sugar in a saucepan over medium heat without stirring until it turns a deep amber color. Pour into a 9-inch pan to coat the bottom and let harden.
- Blend the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a blender until smooth.
- Pour the custard mixture over the hardened caramel. Place the pan in a larger roasting pan and create a water bath by adding hot water halfway up the sides.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still has a slight jiggle.
- Let the flan cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- To serve, run a knife around the edge, place a serving plate on top, and quickly flip to unmold, allowing the caramel sauce to pool around the flan.
