Adapted from Deliciouso! by Penelope Casas. Flan is a traditional
Spanish custard. The addition of almonds gives a delicate and sweet flavor.
Ingredients:
Prepare flan one day in advance
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups milk
- 1/3 cup ground blanched almonds
- Hot water
Caramelized Sugar
Before preparing flan, heat 1/2 cup sugar in a small, heavy saucepan over
medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar melts and is golden brown. Divide
syrup among (5) 6-oz custard cups; tilt and rotate each cup to coat the bottom
and some of the sides.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare caramelized sugar, and coat the bottom
and the bottom portions of the sides of the cups.
Whisk eggs; add both types of milk and ground almonds.
Pour egg mixture into prepared custard cups; place cups in a 9" x 13"
baking pan. Pour very hot water around cups to within 1/2 inch from the top.
Bake about 25 to 30 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center of the
custard comes out clean.
Remove custards from the water bath; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate
overnight. Invert custard cups on a dessert plate to unmold. Caramel syrup
will run down side of custard forming a sauce. Serve cold.
