Ingredients

  • 150 gSugars, granulated
  • 30 gBeverages, water, tap, drinking
  • 170 gEgg, yolk, raw, fresh
  • 390 gMilk, canned, condensed, sweetened

Method

  1. Heat the sugar with the water without stirring for 8 minutes until amber and pour at once into two oval llanera moulds (about 18 × 12 cm).
  2. Gently stir (do not whisk) the yolks with the condensed and evaporated milk and the vanilla flavouring, and strain the mixture twice through a fine sieve.
  3. Pour the mixture over the set caramel, cover the moulds with foil and bake in a water bath for 50 minutes at 160 °C, until the centre only wobbles slightly when shaken.
  4. Leave to cool for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  5. Chill the flan in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
  6. Loosen the edge with a knife, turn the flan out onto a plate so the caramel runs over the top, and cut each mould into 4 pieces.

Calculation limitations

  • Nutrition is a calculated estimate, not a laboratory measurement.
  • The final yield is an editorial estimate.
  • The number of servings is an editorial estimate (midpoint of the source range or based on the dish type and energy).
  • Fibre, saturated fat and sodium of cooked ingredients are estimated from the consumed ingredient amounts; for drained ingredients, sodium is included only where the retained amount is an explicit editorial estimate.
  • Some process effects could not be resolved in this calculation.
