We are gonna start by cracking 9 eggs. It’s always a good practice to crack them individually on a separate surface before pouring them into a bowl, this is to ensure that if one of the eggs s in a bad or spoiled state it dos now contaminate the other eggs or the entire batch of ingredients.

Now it’s important to properly beat them to ensure theyre well mixed and evenly combined, you wanna use a whisk or an electric mixer. Beat the eggs for about 2 minutes or until you can see an homogenous mixture.

Put the milk into a pan and bring it to boil.

Once the eggs are well beaten you wanna incorporate the granulated sugar and vanilla and mix with a whisk until its all combined. You now wanna pour the milk carefully and slowly into the egg mixture, it’s better if you can use the help of another person for this step. One should be mixing with the whisk and the other one pouring the milk into the mixture.

In a small pan convine granulated sugar with water over medium/low heat. Dont stir, leave it on the stove and let the mixture come to a boil. You can swirl the pan gently if you want or feel like it’s needed but try not to touch it a lot or it will cristalice.

Once the caramel starts to look a little yellow allow it to boil for about 30 more seconds or until it has a little more color and remove from the heat. It will get darker on the pan and if you leave it there for too long it’s gonna get too dark.

Immediately pour the caramel into the bottom of your previously greased flan mold and then pour the flan mixture on top.

You need to place the flan mold into a bigger baking dish, being careful not to splash any water into the flan mixture. The water should come up about halfway up the sides of the flan mold.

Place the baking dish with the flan into the oven at 180 C (356F) and bake for about 1h. However it’s important to check for oneness by inserting a wooden stick into the center of the flan. If it comes out clean, the flan is ready.

Before doing this step allow the fan to cool down for some hours, we left it in the fridge for about 12h but 5h should be fine.

If you are using a silicone mold like we did this step is gonna be really difficult so you wanna grab a mold the same size as the flan and place it right under the flan mold, so the flan mold should be inside of the other mold.

Grab a big plate and place it upside down on top of the mold now quickly invert the entire setup. The plate should now be on the bottom, with the flan on top. Gently lift the mold away from the flan, allowing it to slowly release onto the plate.

If you are using a normal mold you have to do the same thing but without having to place the silicon mold inside of another mold.

These are the final results on the flan, it should be super jiggly and delicious, you can make 10 portions out of it. We recommend decorating with raspberries and mint leaves and that’s it, enjoy.:)
