In my honest opinion this is THE GREATEST dessert known to mankind. I've loved this since childhood: my mom would make it, we would buy it at the nearest Filipino store, friends and family would make it for family gatherings and it was a wedding gift from my family. I really love leche flan, or just plain old flan, or maybe you could call this a custard cake...or pie? Whatever name you give this plateful of creamy goodness I'm sure you too will sing its praises. The main ingredients are quite similar to Puerto Rican Flan or Dominican Flan. I used whole eggs, but usually you use just the egg yolks (I don't like to waste the whites so I use them also). Ingredients: 6-8 large eggs 1 can sweetened condensed milk 1 can evaporated milk 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/4 cup granulated sugar Directions: Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add a can of both sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk. Pour in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, then mix well. Put aside so any bubbles may escape. This helps give a smooth texture for your flan. In a 10 inch cake pan heat up the granulated sugar. When you see the edges start to melt, constantly swirl the pan around until the sugar completely dissolves giving a dark amber color. Place the cake pan in a casserole dish and fill the dish with hot water half way up the cake pan. Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Put everything in the oven and bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 55 minutes to an hour. Remove the foil for the last 15 minutes of baking. Remove the cake pan from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes, then put into the refrigerator for 2 hours (or more). After that time flip the cake pan onto a serving dish and remove the pan...Voila! Enjoy your delicious dessert : )
