  • Prep 15 min
  • Total 1 hr 35 min

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3 eggs, slightly beaten
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Heat 1/2 cup sugar in heavy 1-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted and golden brown. Divide sugar syrup among four 6-ounce custard cups; tilt cups to coat bottoms. Allow syrup to harden in cups about 5 minutes.

    Mix remaining ingredients; pour into custard cups. Place cups in square pan, 9x9x2 inches, on oven rack. Pour very hot water into pan to within 1/2 inch of tops of cups.
  • 3
    Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted halfway between center and edge comes out clean. Immediately remove from water. Unmold and serve warm, or refrigerate up to 8 hours and unmold at serving time.

  • If you live near a Latin American bakery, pick up some of the beautiful cookies you’ll find there. They're often served alongside Flan for dessert.
  • Custard mixtures like this one are always cooked with water surrounding them because they need gentle heat to keep from curdling.
