The slightly burnt flavor of the caramel along with the creaminess of the custard are essential to a good flan. The simplicity of eggs, milk, and sugar make all the difference.
Equipment
2 (6-inch) round pans or llanera (or individual ramekins or a muffin tin)
A roasting pan or a steamer
Ingredients
6 egg yolks
2 whole eggs
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk (see note)
1 (14-ounce) can condensed milk (see note)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup granulated sugar sub: brown sugar
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350° F (177° C) or prepare your steamer.
2. Caramelize sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Swirl to caramelize evenly. When the color turns dark amber, remove it from the heat immediately.
3. Divide the caramel between the molds. Tilt to coat the bottom evenly. It will solidify as it cools.
4. In a large bowl, combine egg yolks and whole eggs. Whisk them together.
5. Add evaporated milk, condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until incorporated.
6. Strain the custard into the molds.
7. Set a water bath by placing the custard-filled molds inside a large baking pan. Carefully add boiling water until halfway up the side of the molds.
8. Bake the custard for about 45 minutes, until just set. When you gently shake the pan, it should slightly jiggle in the center. A toothpick or a knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
9. You can also steam them over simmering water (not boiling) for about 30 minutes. Cover the molds with aluminum foil, as trapped steam can easily get into the leche flan.
10. Let them cool in the pan before refrigerating. It will take about 30 minutes until no longer warm to the touch.
11. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate a few hours before serving.
