Five steps to ensure your flan is always perfect
Although it may seem easy, it’s always good to review this delicious, vintage-looking delicacy that has withstood the test of time very well among the many dessert options available. Despite all its variants, such as coffee flan, condensed milk flan, orange flan, or coconut flan, to name a few, classic flan can be cooked in five steps:
- Caramel preparation: Mix sugar and water in the flan mold without the lid and heat over medium heat until a golden caramel is achieved. Then, turn the flan mold to coat the base and let it cool.
- Mix the flan: Beat eggs and sugar, then add milk and vanilla until well integrated into a single mixture.
- Fill the flan mold: Pour the mixture over the caramel, which has previously hardened into a layer. After this, place the lid and close it.
- Cook in the oven: The covered flan mold should be kept at a high temperature.
- Cool and unmold: Let the flan cool, place it in the refrigerator for a few hours, and then unmold it by running a knife around its edge and placing it on a serving dish or plate.
Do not overbeat to prevent air from entering the mixture, a thicker finish can be achieved by adding cream, or prevent the water from boiling too vigorously during the bain-marie; these are some tips to keep in mind.
