Spanish Flan is a delicious and creamy dessert with a caramelized sugar topping. Here’s an overview of a typical recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 4 large eggs
• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
• 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Prepare Caramel:
   • In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water over medium heat.
   • Stir until the sugar dissolves. Stop stirring and let the mixture simmer gently, swirling the pan occasionally, until it turns a deep amber color (about 10 minutes). Be careful not to burn it.
   • Quickly pour the caramel into a 9-inch round baking dish or into individual ramekins, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.
2. Preheat Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
3. Prepare Custard Mixture:
   • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs until well combined.
   • Add the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.
4. Pour Mixture into Dish:
   • Pour the custard mixture over the cooled caramel in the baking dish or ramekins.
5. Bake in Water Bath:
   • Place the baking dish or ramekins into a larger baking pan. Fill the larger pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the dish(es).
6. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the flan is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
7. Chill:
   • Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until completely chilled and set.
8. Serve:
   • To serve, run a knife around the edge of the dish to loosen the flan. Place a serving plate over the top of the dish and carefully invert it to release the flan with the caramel sauce on top.
9. Enjoy:
   • Slice and serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with fresh berries or whipped cream.

Spanish Flan is a delightful dessert with a silky texture and a rich caramel flavor that’s sure to impress!
