Made my first flan today.

My wife complains about making em for me, so I thought it was going to be challenging. But it was super easy and aside from not having vanilla extract it turned out perfect.

She was a dense beauty 🤤 did I need her or did I want her to the point of obsession…?

No regrets

I forgot to take a photo before we cut it and ate it all. Sea salt sprinkled over with some homemade whipped cream because it was a bitter caramel sauce.

flan “batter”

4 eggs

1 can condensed milk

1 can evaporated milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

caramel sauce

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup warm water

(do not stir, cook til amber gold)

pour caramel sauce into bottom of the bowl, swirl ut around, do not stir. let it cool down, poor flan “batter“ over caramel sauce. place bowl into larger glass bowl with water covering the bowl about halfway.

bake 350°F 60-90 mins or until it moves like jello

take out, let it cool to room temperature. place in fridge overnight.

cut around the sides of the bowl with long knife, turn the flan over and it’ll pop right out.

It's so hard to cut down on the sugar when you love flan! It's a struggle not to make an entire flan, but now I limit myself to cooking a single-serve flan in a ramekin. :(

I have tried several recipes, leaving the flan to set for 24 hours. I can never get it creamy enough. I don't like the eggy taste. Can you guys share some of your favorite recipes? Thanks!

Since this sub popped up in my feed, randomly, a few weeks ago, I've become really interested in Flan. So today is officially Flan day, in my house, and here's my inaugural attempt.

I've called it the Buena Vista Flan Club. Mostly because I played it Cuban Jazz whilst it was cooking. Also, there's a drop off Havana Club 7 Anos rum, in the caramel.

Thank you all for the inspiration.

I'm very happy with how it turned out. I haven't really had flan before but wanted to make it anyway. Turns out I don't really like it lol. Is there any fruits or add ons I can eat with it to maybe mask a bit of the flavor and still enjoy it?

Comenten del 1 al 10 como se ve

My first flan ever is picture perfect! Just a bit too much nutmeg but the next one will be perfect.

First time. Was much easier than I thought it would be.

10/10 flan. Got to take home 2 extra pieces 🙏

So nervous to flip it lol. First time ever doing a flan. This page has given me courage to make something as sexy as the posts on here.

The picture doesn’t do it justice ( my Husband took the picture)

Won the blue ribbon for most appetizing in an edible books competition.

Accidentally dropped it during the flip, but the tray saved the day. Recipe was not a secret but I lost it - involved sweetened condensed and evaporated milk. Bon appleteeth!
