Spanish Flan

Ingredients:

 

Eggs-3
Sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)-1 can
Evaporated milk (12 oz)-1 can
Vanilla extract-1 tbsp
Sugar-3/4 cup

Method:

 

1. Set the oven at 350C. Set up a water bath by adding 3-4 cups of water in a wide tray. Make sure that the baking dish fits in the tray. Choose either a glass or ceramic baking dish. Avoid aluminum/metal pans.
2. Now beat eggs, add condensed milk, evaporated milk and vanilla. Do not over beat. Just beat enough so as to mix everything properly. Keep the mixture aside.
3. Take a flat and wide saucepan and add sugar to it. Over very small flame let the sugar melt. Do not use ladle to mix it. Just shake the pan few times in between. Do not over heat the sauce. Otherwise, you will get a burning taste.
4. Once the caramel sauce is ready, pour it into the baking dish and spread it nice and even along the sides as well. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
5. Place the baking dish in the tray filled with water. Add more water to the tray if you can otherwise it's fine. Let it bake for 1 hr 15 min.
6. After 1 hr 15 min, the sides get set pretty well but you will see that the center would be still jiggly.
7. Let it cool at room temperature for an hour and refrigerate it overnight.
8. Next day, run a knife around the edges and invert it into an another container. Enjoy!
