Leche Flan

Makes approximately 16 small servings

8 egg yolks

1 can condensed milk

1 can evaporated milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

Lemon/lime rind (optional)

Caramel

4-6 tbsp caster sugar

1. Put sugar in a round baking dish. Place over gas or electric stovetop on medium heat, and melt sugar until brown. Using tongs, swirl caramel around to evenly melt the sugar however do not mix or touch the caramel with spoon or other utensils. Once melted evenly, set aside. Meanwhile, prepare steamer and simmer water in medium heat.

2. Place egg yolks in a bowl. While very lightly whisking with a fork, add both condensed and evaporated milk. Add vanilla extract and rind. Slowly whisk using the fork but do not overwhisk or overwhip as it causes bubbles which makes the flan alot porous and less smooth.

3. Pour batter over the melted caramel. Cover with aluminum foil and place in steamer. Ensure there is enough water in the steamer to last for the whole cooking process, and that the water is simmering, not boiling. Put lid on and cook for 20 minutes.

4. Remove baking pan from steamer, set aside to cool. Refrigerate for a few hours.

5. To remove from pan, slice the edge of the flan away from the baking pan in by sliding along the end of the pan in circular way. Place a flat plate on top of the baking pan, turn over, which would have release the flan out of the pan. Slice and serve cold.

I got a confession to make. I am food addict, over-indulgent! I crave for anything especially sweets, chocolates, cakes, ice cream, strawberries, halo-halo, leche flan, banana Q, breads, pasta, Nasi Goreng....tell me what you got in your fridge ;-D. Thank heavens for I got my mum's genes, I can gain and lose pounds that easy and quick. I am here to share with you my food recipe collection (almost forgotten in a corner of my room) and search for new, exciting recipes, meet good people, and discover more about the world of baking. I am no professional baker or chef (just a wanna-be for now) but we'll get there in time. In sha Allah. Afterall, DREAMS just got to start somewhere, and it starts right here, right now! Meantime enjoy this food journey with me among other stuff....amigos to the kitchen! [Thank you for visiting my blog,you're always welcome to come by! Feel free to dig deep into the posts, much treasures there. And leave your comments, I'd appreciate your words....] [P.S. Borrowed articles/photos can be deleted anytime, please advise.Thank you.]
