Recipes Cuisine European Spanish Simple and Creamy Spanish Flan 4.1 (9) 9 Reviews 4 Photos This flan baked in a water bath is simple yet creamy and smooth. Flan is a traditional Spanish dessert that can be dressed up anyway, from chocolate to traditional. If you have never had flan or just couldn't seem to get it right, I can assure you that your family and friends will want this recipe. Be daring and try other extracts like almond or orange.

Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings 1 cup boiling water, or as needed ¾ cup white sugar, divided 1 teaspoon water 6 large egg yolks 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk 1 (13 ounce) can evaporated milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Directions Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place a 9-inch metal pie dish into a deep baking pan; pour boiling water into the baking pan to reach about halfway up the sides of the pie dish to make a water bath. Pour 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon water into a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Gently swirl mixture in the pan until sugar dissolves, melts, and turns into a golden-brown caramel syrup, about 10 minutes. Watch carefully, as sugar burns easily. Pour melted caramel into the warmed pie dish; gently tilt the dish to coat the bottom with caramel. Whisk egg yolks, condensed milk, evaporated milk, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, and vanilla in a bowl until creamy and thoroughly combined. If mixture is foamy, skim foam off with a folded paper towel. Gently pour custard over caramel in the pie dish. Cover the baking pan with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven until custard is set but jiggles slightly when nudged, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove foil and place flan with the water bath in the refrigerator until chilled, about 2 hours. Remove the pie dish from the water bath; run a knife around the edges of flan. Invert flan onto a rimmed serving platter to release custard; let caramel sauce flow over flan. I Made It Print 30 home cooks made it!
