FLAN HOUSE.

at the bottom evenly with the caramel. Set it aside to cool and harden.

Step 2: Make the Custard

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
2. To ensure a smooth custard without air bubbles, you can strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any egg bits that might have formed while mixing.
3. Pour the custard mixture gently over the cooled caramel in the mold.

Step 3: Bake the Flan

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare a water bath by placing your flan mold into a larger baking dish. Fill the larger dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the flan mold. This will ensure the flan bakes evenly and prevents the custard from curdling.
3. Place the flan in the preheated oven and bake for about 50–60 minutes. The flan is done when the center is set but still slightly jiggly. You can check for doneness by inserting a knife or toothpick into the center – it should come out clean.
4. Remove the flan from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for about an hour, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours (preferably overnight) to allow it to set completely.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

1. Once the flan has chilled and set, it’s time to serve! To unmold the flan, run a knife around the edges of the mold to loosen it. Invert the mold onto a large plate, and gently lift it off. The caramel will flow over the flan, creating a beautiful, glossy sauce.
2. Slice and serve with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a drizzle of additional caramel sauce if desired.

Tips for the Perfect Flan House:

• Caramel Watch: Be patient when making the caramel. It should be a golden amber color and free of any burnt spots. If it starts to smell burnt, discard it and start over.
• Strain the Custard: Straining the custard mixture ensures it’s smooth and free of any lumps or bits of cooked egg, making the texture silky and perfect.
• Chill Before Serving: Allow the flan to cool completely in the fridge before serving. This will help it set properly and enhance the flavor.
• Flavor Variations: Get creative with your flan by experimenting with different flavorings. Add a little bit of cinnamon or nutmeg to the custard for a warming twist, or infuse the milk with orange zest for a citrusy note.
