Fri, May 2, 2008 - 12:15 PMCaramel Flan
1/2 cup sugar
1-2/3 cups sweetened condensed milk
1 cup milk
3 eggs
3 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook sugar until melted, about 12 minutes.
Do not stir. When sugar is melted, reduce heat to low and continue to cook,
stirring occasionally, until syrup is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Quickly
pour into an ungreased 2-qt. round souffle dish, tilting to coat the bottom; let
stand for 10 minutes. In a blender, combine the condensed milk, milk, eggs,
yolks and vanilla. Cover and process for 15 seconds or until well blended.
Slowly pour over syrup. Place the souffle dish in a larger baking pan. Add 1
in. of boiling water to baking pan. Bake 350° for 55-60 minutes or until
center is just set (mixture will jiggle). Remove souffle dish from larger pan.
Place on a wire rack; cool for 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate overnight. To
unmold, run a knife around edge and invert flan onto a large rimmed serving
platter. Cut into wedges or spoon onto dessert plates; spoon sauce over each
serving.
my son agrees that the texture is too wierd..but it was any way
