Directions
Delicious, Easy Cuban-Style Flan,I love a good flan, and have experimented with many during the years of my flan-fixation. 🙂 This one is quite lovely- both for ease of preparation, and for taste. It is denser then some I’ve tasted, not too heavy like some that use heavy cream, but texture-wise, very creamy and smooth. I got this recipe from a dear friend who gave me her mother’s recipe from Cuba. Don’t hesitate to make this recipe becuause you don’t know what to do with the leftover egg-whites. There are lots of things to do with egg-whites! Use them in egg-flower soup, fried rice, egg-white omelettes, meringues, as the egg-binder in meatloaf, meatballs and spinach-artichoke dip, just to name a few. Enjoy. 🙂 Note: prep time does not include cooling.,I’ve tried this recipe twice and the time is off. I would leave it in for a little longer. Didn’t set right.,Just the recipe I was looking for. Rich and firm. Simple. This recipe made about 8 or 9 inch round cake pan portion

Caramel: Some People Like to Make Caramel by Adding Water to Sugar and Then Cooking It to a Nice Dark Golden Brown, and Some Just Like to Melt the Sugar to Golden Without Water. Either Method Will Work Here. If You Are Using a Flanera, Which Is a Metal Pan With a Lock-Down Lid, You Can Make the Caramel Right in the Flanera. If You Are Using a Casserole Dish, Make the Caramel in a Saucepan and Pour Into the Bottom of the Casserole Dish. |

Custard: as You Prepare the Custard, the Caramel Will Cool. in a Separate Bowl, Beat the 1 Whole Egg and 5 Egg Yolks Together. a Whisk Works Very Well Here. Add the Evaporated Milk and Sweetened Condensed Milk to the Eggs and Mix Together. Add the Vanilla Extract, Either 1/2 Teaspoon or 1 Teaspoon Depending on What Strength You Prefer. Pour the Custard Mixture Into the Flanera or Casserole Dish Over the Hardened Caramel. Put on the Lid. |
