Directions
Leche Flan – Filipino,Filipino style flan. My mother was born and raised in the Philippines. This is her home economics teacher’s recipe, over 60 years old so it has withstood the test of time. Our family usually serves this dessert on holidays. Please be sure to fully read the directions before making this recipe as it does require lots of pots and pans and cheesecloth…and it requires the cook to flip the dish upside down before it’s ready to serve.
