ONE   Preheat the oven to 325 F.

TWO   Pour 1 cup of the sugar in a warm pan over medium heat.

THREE   Constantly stir the sugar while it heats until it browns and turns into caramel.

FOUR   Immediately and quickly pour into a custard tin or individual custard molds.

FIVE   In an electric mixer or with a whisk, blend the eggs. Add the sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk, then mix.

SIX  Slowly mix in the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar while beating, then the vanilla. Blend until smooth after each ingredient is added.

SEVEN  Pour the custard mixture into the caramel-lined dishes, distributing it equally. Place the individual dishes in a large glass, ceramic, or metal baking pan. Pour hot water into the baking pan around the custard dishes to a depth of about 2 inches.

EIGHT  Bake the flan for 45 minutes to an hour in the water bath. Check with a knife inserted just off-center into one of the servings; if the knife comes out clean, the flan is ready.

NINE  Remove the large baking dish from the oven and cool to room temperature, then place in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. Leave flan in the dishes they baked in until time to serve. 

Ready! Now enjoy! 🍮
