• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup water

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

4. Pour the milk mixture over the caramel in the cake pan.
5. Place the cake pan in a larger pan and fill the larger pan with hot water, creating a water bath.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the flan is set and lightly browned on top.

8. To serve, run a knife around the edge of the flan and invert it onto a serving plate.
