Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sugar (for caramel)
- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 3 large eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- To prepare the caramel, melt sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat while stirring continuously until it reaches a golden amber color. Quickly pour it into a round baking dish and swirl to coat the bottom evenly.
- In a blender, combine evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the custard mixture over the caramel in the baking dish.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the filled baking dish into a larger pan and fill with hot water halfway up the sides of the flan dish. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
- Allow to cool in the water bath before refrigerating for at least 4 hours. To serve, run a knife around the edges and invert onto a plate.
