Caramel Custard (Flan) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/3 c. sugar
6 eggs
6 Tbsp. sugar
2 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla

Preparation

Make a hot water bath to fit a 9-inch pie pan.
Heat water as you preheat the oven to 350\u00b0.
In a small frying pan over moderate heat, melt the 1/3 cup sugar.
Shake the pan instead of stirring contents.
Once melted, the sugar will caramelize quickly.
As soon as this happens, pour at once into a 9-inch pie pan.
Tilt pan quickly to let the syrup flow over bottom and slightly up sides of pan.
Use hot pads to protect hands from heat.
If syrup hardens before you finish, set pan on moderate heat until syrup softens, then continue.
