Mexican Flan
Mexican Flan, pronounced [FLAHN]
is commonly used as a term to describe the Spanish, Portuguese or
Mexican version of Creme Caramel normally baked in a water bath
and turned out of it's mold onto a plate for serving. In
England
the term usually refers to a crust with either a sweet or savory
filling. The crust is formed and baked in a flan ring,
cooled and filled. The sweet filling frequently includes a
custard.
Ingredients:
- 3 Eggs
- 1 can of La Lechera Condensed
Milk
- 1 cup of Regular Milk
- 1/2 cup of Sugar
- 1 Tspn of 100% Pure Vanilla
Extract
Instructions:
In a non-stick flan mold you add the sugar (evenly spread) an you
leave it to cook on the stove until it reaches a dark color. Heat
oven to 350 F. When you see this reaction, remove the mold from
the stove and make sure that it is evenly spread so that you can
leave it to cool off. Mean while, mix in a blender the 3 eggs, the
La Lechera Condensated Milk, the regular milk and the tea spoon of
vanilla (extra). After it is well mixed, place it in the flan mold
where the cold caramel had rested. To cook, fill baking pan with
1/2 inch of warm water, and cover with a tent of aluminum foil.
Bake until custards are just set, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove pan
from oven, and remove custards from pan. Serve when cooled, or
cover flans with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to
unmold.To unmold, run a knife carefully around the edge of each
custard. Invert onto a plate, and drizzle 1 teaspoon of coffee
liqueur, if using, over each flan.
