Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sugar
- 6 large eggs
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)
- 1 can evaporated milk (12 ounces)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Melt the sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until golden brown, then pour it into a round baking dish, swirling to coat the bottom.
- Whisk together eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, and salt in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
- Pour the egg mixture over the caramel in the baking dish.
- Place the baking dish in a larger baking pan and fill the outer pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the flan dish.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set.
- Allow to cool and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Invert the flan onto a serving platter to serve, allowing the caramel sauce to flow over the top.
Notes
Let the flan cool completely before refrigerating. Do not rush this step as it thickens more as it cools.
