Ingredients Caramel Flan
Sugar 3 Spoonful
Water 2 Spoonful
Eggs 3 Units
Condensed milk 370 g
Milk 600 ml
Directions

1.Prepare the caramel
We start the recipe by turning on the oven at 200 °C and preparing the caramel. To do this, we put the sugar in a saucepan and add the water. We put the saucepan on medium heat and let the sugar toast without stirring it.. When we notice that the sugar is starting to darken around the edges, we move the saucepan in a circular motion. This will melt all the sugar and form the caramel. Once it has a golden color, we remove it from the heat so that it doesn't burn. Pour the caramel into the mold. 2
2.Make the mix
Next, beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add the 370 g of condensed milk, which is a small can. Then, add the whole milk. You can use the can of condensed milk as a unit of measurement, 2 cans are 600 ml. Mix both ingredients. 3
3.Bake
Turn on the oven about 5 minutes before putting the flan in and have a large saucepan with boiling water to put the flan pan inside. The water should reach above half the height of the flan bowl. Bake in a bain-marie for 60 minutes at 200 ºC. 4
4.Check its cooked
After this time, we check that the flan is cooked inside and that it is firm. Although the centre may seem a little soft, we can check the cooking with a toothpick. If when you stick a toothpick into the flan it comes out clean, it is well cooked. We remove the tray from the oven and let the flan cool. We keep the flan inside the mold in the refrigerator until serving time.
