Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup(s) white sugar, divided into 1/2 + 1/2 cups
2 can(s) (12 oz. each) evaporated milk
3 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
1/2 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
some hot tap water for the water bath (bain marie)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
In a skillet over medium heat, swirl 1/2 cup white sugar until it melts and starts turning brown, about 2 minutes.
Quickly pour caramelized sugar into the bottom of a 9 inch cake pan and swirl to cover the bottom of the pan before it hardens.
Put the other 1/2 cup white sugar, evaporated milk, eggs, salt, and vanilla extract into a blender and blend until incorporated.
Pour the custard over the caramelized sugar in the cake pan. Cover with foil and place into a larger pan with sides.
Pour hot tap water into the larger pan until it's about halfway up the covered cake pan. Place the pans carefully in the oven.
Bake at 325 degrees about 90 minutes or until a knife slipped into the middle comes out clean. Check early to avoid overtaking.
Carefully remove the covered cake pan from the water bath to a cooling rack and uncover, allowing the flan to cool for an hour. Then cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours. Run a knife along the sides and flip the flan onto a plate. Serve cold. Refrigerate leftovers.
