Proud to be portuguese, and would like to share my simple recipe for flan.
Oven to 375 deg.
About six tbs. sugar into a solid tube pan. Over the fire until it gets brown and soft. Move the pan around with your hands to get it around the edges about 4 inches up. Please remember to use your oven gloves while doing this. Put the pan into the fridge to cool until it starts to make crackling noises.
(I usually do this part long before I'm ready to make the flan because this is the only pain in the neck part of this dish.)
While you're doing the next step, fill up a teapot with water and heat to a boil.
Mix 6 jumbo eggs, two cans of sweetened condensed milk, two cans full of whole milk, and at least two tbs. of vanilla with an electric mixer. Pour into the tube pan and cover with foil.
Fill a large roasting pan with the hot water, and place the tube pan in the middle, and into the oven for 40 minutes, no longer.
Remove pan from the water, cool for 5 mnutes or so, then place in the fridge.
I usually make this in the evening and leave in the fridge overnight. Make sure you have a wide enough serving dish because you are going to invert the flan onto it.
I hope you enjoy.
Hi and welcome - happy to see you here. Unfortunately very few will see your recipe here. Why not add it to the database for everyone to see. Click the blue box to the right of your icon - upper right hand corner - and in the very bottom of the left hand column you will see the Submit My Recipe button - click that and then follow the instructions.
Forums are not searchable and it is not likely that anyone will see your recipe especially in a thread for a game that is now over with.
