Easy Spanish Flan Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup white sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Melt sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat until it liquefies and turns golden brown. Carefully pour the hot caramel syrup into a 9-inch round glass baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Then, set the dish aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Add the condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract, and beat until the mixture is smooth. Pour this egg mixture over the caramel in the baking dish, then place the dish inside a deep roasting pan. Carefully add enough hot water to the roasting pan to reach about 1 inch up the sides of the baking dish.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until the flan is just set, with a slight jiggle remaining in the center—about 1 hour. Start checking after 55 minutes. Remember, the flan will continue to set as it cools. Remove from the oven and carefully transfer the baking dish to a wire rack to cool to room temperature. Then, cover it with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or up to 3 days.
5. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the dish to loosen the flan. Carefully invert it onto a rimmed serving plate and let the caramel sauce drizzle over the flan.
