Paloma’s Mexican Flan

INGREDIENTS
1 can (12 oz) of evaporated milk
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
4 eggs
2 tablespoons of vanilla
1/2 cup sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1. Add evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, eggs and vanilla to blender and blend.

Step 2. Place sugar in a skillet on the stove and heat on medium to melt the sugar. Stir continuously to assure the sugar doesn’t burn too quickly. When the sugar melts and begins to turn brown throughout, it is finished. Remove from heat.

Step 3. Moving quickly, pour melted sugar in a bowl, keep moving the caramel around to coat the bottom of the bowl. Once the caramel has hardened, pour the contents of the blender in the bowl just coated with carmel.

Step 4. Fill a large pot (that your carmel bowl will fit in) half way with water. Place the pot on the stove and heat on medium.

Step 5. Cover the glass bowl with tin foil and place in the pot of water. Make sure no water enters the bowl. Place a lid on the pot and cook for 60 minutes.

Step 6. Periodically check the pot as the water boils, to make sure that there is always water in the pot that is the height of the bowl’s content’s. Add more water if needed.

Step 7. After 60 minutes, check the flan by piercing it with a knife. If it comes out clean, it is done.

Step 8. Using a cooking glove, remove the bowl from the pot. Take your serving dish and place the serving dish over the top of the bowl, flip the serving dish and bowl at the same time. Gently remove the bowl from the flan.
