Flan de Abuela de Maritza

Ingredients
  

For the Caramel Bottom:

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp. water

For the Flan:

  • 6 eggs
  • 3 cups evaporated milk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions
 

To prepare the caramel bottom:

  • Using a small skillet, over medium heat, heat the sugar and water until the sugar has been totally dissolved and has turned a golden brown color.
  • Do not stir, instead, tilt the pan around a little.
  • When caramel is the correct color, pour enough in each of the 8 individual ramekins to cover the bottom.
  • Let them cool while you make the flan.

To prepare the flan:

  • Using a large bowl, and an electric mixer on low, thoroughly combine all ingredients, ensuring eggs are well blended and sugar has been totally incorporated into the mixture.
  • Strain batter, into a pitcher, to remove solid parts of eggs.
  • Pour batter over caramel bottoms already in the individual ramekins.
  • Place ramekins in a pan carefully so they do not spill.
  • Add warm water to pan and bake with the ramekins in a “bath” for one hour; when a non-colored toothpick, inserted in the flan, comes out clean, remove from the oven.
  • Use sturdy slotted spoons, or thongs, to remove from oven, one at a time, and allow to cool completely before, on wire rack or cutting board.
  • Once cooled, cover and place in refrigerator until ready to serve.
