How to Make Leche Flan?

 

Ingredients

for 8 servings

• ½ cup granulated sugar(100 g)
• 12 large egg yolks
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk, 14 ounce (395 G)
• 340 g evaporated milk(340 g)
• 1 teaspoon lemon extract
• 6 cups boiling water(1.4 L), for water bath
• 
  
• Method
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Heat a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the granulated sugar and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar melts into an amber-colored caramel, 5–6 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and stir until the sugar is fully melted. Remove the pan from the heat and carefully pour the caramel into a 9 x 5-inch (22x12 cm) loaf pan. Let the caramel cool for 5 minutes while you make the custard.
• Add the egg yolks and condensed milk to a large bowl and whisk to combine, then add the evaporated milk and lemon extract and whisk to incorporate.
• Pour the custard into the pan with the caramel. Cover the pan with foil.
• Set the loaf pan in a 9 x 13-inch (22x33 cm) baking dish and carefully pour the boiling water into the baking dish, taking care not to splash any into the flan.
• Carefully transfer to the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, until the flan is fully set.
• Remove the flan from the oven, lift the loaf pan from the water bath, and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for overnight.
• When ready to serve, run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the flan, then invert onto a platter, slice, and serve.
• Enjoy!
