  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until custards are set but still quiverly like gelatine.
  • Remove from oven; place on wire racks to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until cold, preferably overnight. (Flan can be made up to 2 days in advance).
  • To serve: run a knife with a thin blade around the edges to loosen custard from teh sides of the cup. INvert onto serving plates, shaking slightly to release custard and caramel.

My mother encouraged my love of food - creating and enjoying a wide variety of things. My acupuncturist taught me the spiritual and healing world of foods. I strive to share that blended concept with all who may sit at my table.
