👩‍🍳 How to Make Small Cake Flans in Glasses

Step 1: Make the Caramel (Optional)

  1. In a small saucepan, add sugar and water.
  2. Heat over medium heat until the sugar melts and turns golden brown. Do not stir — swirl the pan gently instead.
  3. Quickly pour the caramel into the bottom of each serving glass (use heatproof glasses).
  4. Set aside to cool and harden slightly.

Step 2: Prepare the Flan Mixture

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until smooth and pale.
  2. Warm the milk in a saucepan (don’t boil it), then slowly pour it into the egg mixture while whisking constantly.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve for an ultra-smooth texture.

Step 3: Assemble and Bake
