Flan - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 c. sugar
5 eggs
1 can sweetened condensed milk (do not use filled dairy blend)
1 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Preparation

In a heavy saucepan, cook the sugar until it caramelizes.
Pour into a two-quart mold; swirl to cover the bottom and sides (be careful or you will get a bad burn!)
Set aside.
Preheat oven to 375\u00b0.
Mix the eggs in a bowl; add condensed milk, milk and vanilla.
Pour the mixture into the caramelized pan; cover.
Set the pan into a larger pan in the oven; cover and pour hot water into the outer pan to reach two-thirds of the way up on the side of the mold.
Bake 1 hour.
Remove from the oven; let cool to room temperature.
Refrigerate overnight.
To serve, run a knife around the edge of the mold; invert the mold onto a plate.
Serves eight.
