Why This Recipe Works
Practical Cooking Tips
- Pour the caramel carefully to avoid burning it.
- Bake the flan in a water bath to ensure it cooks evenly and stays creamy.
Step 1
Whisk the egg yolks together with the condensed milk and evaporated milk in a bowl, then set that mixture aside. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the margarine and stir in the brown sugar. Keep stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Pour this caramel evenly into the bottom of a pie plate. Next, pour the custard mixture over the caramel.
Step 2
Cover the pie plate with foil. Fill a large pot about three-quarters full with water and bring it to a simmer on the stove. Carefully place the pie plate into the pot, making sure the water comes up around the sides but doesn’t splash into the flan. Let it cook gently for about 65 to 70 minutes, or until the flan is set.
Step 3
Once it’s ready, take the flan out of the water and let it cool for at least half an hour. When you’re ready to serve, run a knife around the edges to loosen it, then flip it onto a plate. It tastes great either at room temperature or chilled.
