Flan, or crème caramel, is a creamy custard dessert topped with caramel that's popular in Mexico, Spain and many Latin American countries. It's known for its smooth and creamy consistency that's achieved by cooking the custard in a water bath, or a bain-marie or baño-maría. Add milk and salt to a medium saucepan over medium heat.

To begin with this particular recipe, we have to prepare a few ingredients. You can have traditional flan using 7 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you cook it.

The ingredients needed to make Traditional Flan:

1. Prepare flan also known as caramel custard
2. Take 1 can sweetened condensed milk
3. Get 1 can evaporated milk
4. Make ready 4 large eggs
5. Take 1 tbsp vanilla extract

The Spanish Flan is a baked egg and creamy pudding or custard dessert. Although it´s a very popular dessert all over the world, in Spain is cooked in a different way, but it´s also very famous. The easy Spanish Flan pudding is known for being very simple and for being the perfect dessert for your guests. The consistency of Flan is like pudding, or jelly, or custard.

Steps to make Traditional Flan:

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Boil 2 cups of water and set aside.
2. In medium sauce pan melt 1 cup of white sugar stirring until melted. Be sure not to burn caramel.
3. Add caramel to a 9" or 10" round nonstick pan. (I buy aluminum pans from the nearest dollar store. They usually come with 2-3 pans & covers in one package.) BE SURE TO HANDLE PAN WITH OVEN MITTS. PAN WILL BE HOT FROM CARAMEL. Make sure caramel is evenly distributed around full bottom of pan.
4. Now add 4 eggs and tbsp vanilla and whisk together in a large enough bowl. Once combined shake well and add the can of evaporated milk to egg mixture. Whisk until combined. Now add the can of sweetened milk. It is a little thick. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
5. Now in order for the flan to come out perfect, it needs to be cooked in a water bath. Grab a larger pan and add the 2 cups of boiling water to it. Slowly add the round pan on top of the boiling water. You might hear a little crackling sound, that's completely normal.
6. Grab a handheld mesh strainer and strain the flan mixture on top of the caramel slowly. We use a strainer so the egg whites that are thick, won't cook with your beautiful flan mixture.
7. Slowly place pans into a preheated 350° oven. Set kitchen timer for 60 minutes. DO NOT OPEN OVEN WHILE BAKING, UNLESS WHEN Checking flan 45 minutes after baking. If center is still jiggly, cook for remaining time. Be sure not to burn. Take a toothpick and pierce center of custard. Toothpick should come out clean.
8. Remove flan from oven. Remove pan from water bath and let sit on counter for about 1-1.5 hours. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
9. When ready to serve remove flan from refrigerator 30 minutes prior to serving. Grab a sturdy enough plate that is larger than the round pan. Usually a large dinner plate will do. Place plate on top of flan face down. Now gently turn both plate and pan upside down. Remove pan from flan. It should slide right out. Cut into 8 slices and enjoy!!

Yes, I think it's more like a custard. It is firm that it holds its stand, but after you put it into your mouth, it literally melts between your tongue and the roof of your mouth. Spanish Flan is relatively easy to make. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt sugar until liquefied and golden in color. Flan is very popular in Latin America and Spain.
