Flan

 

Serve this Spanish custard after your favorite meal.

Serves 6-8

6 Eggs

1 cup Sugar

1/8 teaspoon Salt

4 cups Milk

3/4 teaspoon

Vanilla

 

Pre-heat the oven to 325.

Whisk together the eggs, sugar, and salt.

Heat the milk in a saucepan until just steaming.

Remove from the heat and slowly whisk in the egg mixture.

Whisk in the vanilla.

Place the mixture in small individual Pyrex or other oven-ready bowls.

Place the bowls in a large baking dish and add water to the pan halfway up the sides of the bowls.

Place in oven and bake for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until the custard is well set. Chill in the refrigerator at least 3 hours.

At service time, gently run a butter knife between the outside of the dish and the custard.

Invert on a small plate.
