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.
