Recipe for Flan

I decided to share a recipe for flan for my eighth (and final) installment of the recipe series we've been running here.

Roxy Martens, another missionary wife here in Torreon, shared this recipe with me. Mike and I just love it. The best part is that it only uses five ingredients! Here's what you do:

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups sugar
6 large eggs
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 can evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

To prepare
Place 1/2 cup sugar in a medium saucepan. Stir constantly over medium heat until carmelized. Pour immediately into a greased pan.*



Mix the remaining cup of sugar with the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla. Pour into pan over sugar.

Place in oven over a pan filled with warm water.


Bake at 300F for 2 hours or until set. Cool for at least an hour. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

* about the pan: I used a bundt pan and was happy with the results. You can also use a round 9-inch pan or 10-inch iron skillet, or a different dish of your choice.


Oh, and last step - serve it to your family!
