Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 4 large eggs
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until sugar is dissolved and caramelized.
- Pour caramelized sugar into a 9-inch round baking dish, tilting to evenly coat the bottom.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Strain egg mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into the prepared baking dish.
- Place the baking dish in a larger baking pan. Fill the larger pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the smaller pan.
- Bake in preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the flan is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove from the oven and let cool. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- To serve, run a knife around the edge of the flan and invert onto a plate.
- Slice and enjoy the creamy goodness of Classic Creamy Flan!
