Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make the Caramel

  • In a saucepan, combine sugar and water over medium heat. Stir just until dissolved.

  • Once dissolved, stop stirring and let it bubble until it turns a deep amber (8–10 min). Swirl the pan gently for even coloring.

  • Immediately pour into a 9-inch round pan, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Let cool and harden.

2. Prepare the Custard

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • Blend eggs, condensed milk, evaporated milk, vanilla, and salt until completely smooth.

3. Assemble & Bake

  • Pour custard over the hardened caramel.

  • Place the pan in a larger dish and fill halfway with hot water (bain-marie).

  • Bake 50–60 min until set but slightly jiggly in the center.

  • Cool in the water bath, then refrigerate at least 4 hours (overnight is best).

4. Unmold & Serve

  • Run a knife around the edges, place a plate on top, and flip. Shake gently to release.

  • Let the caramel cascade over the flan, then slice and serve chilled.
