  • 2 cups whole milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a saucepan, combine the additional sugar and water over medium heat to create the caramel sauce, stirring until the sugar dissolves and turns a golden brown color.
  3. Quickly pour the caramel into the bottom of a flan mold or individual ramekins, tilting to coat the bottom evenly.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Heat the whole milk in a saucepan until just warm, then gradually whisk it into the egg mixture until smooth.
  6. Pour the custard mixture over the caramel in the mold or ramekins.
  7. Place the mold or ramekins in a larger baking dish and fill the dish with hot water to create a water bath.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the flan is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  9. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  10. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan and invert it onto a plate, allowing the caramel to drizzle over the top.
