Caramel Flan For Just A Few Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• In a heavy skillet cook sugar over medium-high heat until sugar begins to melt, shaking the skillet occasionally to heat the sugar evenly. Do not stir.
• Once the sugar starts to melt, reduce heat to low and cook about 5 minutes more or until all of the sugar is melted and golden, stirring as needed with a wooden spoon.
• Immediately pour into an ungreased 9-inch round baking pan; tilting to coat bottom completely.
• In medium bowl, combine egg substitute and water; stir in condensed milk, vanilla and salt.
• Pour over caramelized sugar in pan.
• Set pan in a larger pan. Fill larger pan with 1-inch boiling water.
• Bake 50 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean.
• Cool. Chill at least 2 hours.
• To serve, loosen side of flan with knife; invert onto serving plate with rim.

Steps:

• Preheat oven at 350 degrees.
• In a medium saucepan heat up sugar until melted. Sugar will brown quickly. Do not burn!
• Boil water for water bath.
• Move melted sugar to small mold quickly, it will harden. (I used a 6 inch Danish cookie tin for this). Let cool.
• Place remaining ingredients in blender (I used a Magic Bullet).
• Place mold in larger pan and pour in custard filling. Pour water you've boiled into larger pan.
• Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Turn up to 400 degrees and bake for another 20 minutes.
• Let cool for 3 hours and place in refrigerator for another 3 hours.
• Loosen with knife, invert onto plate, and enjoy!

Steps:

• Butter six 3/4-cup ramekins.
• Combine the white sugar with the water in a small, heavy saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook until the sugar reaches a dark golden brown. Immediately pour about 2 tablespoons into each of the ramekins, tilting to spread the caramel evenly along the bottom. Arrange the ramekins in a baking dish 2 inches deep and set aside.
• Combine the milk, cream, cinnamon stick and vanilla bean in a heavy saucepan. Bring just to a boil, cover and remove from the heat. Let steep for about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Whisk the eggs, yolks, brown sugar, molasses and Amaretto together in a medium bowl. Uncover the milk mixture and return it to the stove. Bring just to the boil again. Whisk about one-third of the hot milk into the egg-sugar mixture to temper it. Whisk in the remaining hot milk. Strain the custard through a fine sieve. (We skipped this step.) Pour into the caramel-lined ramekins, filling them to just below the rim. Pour enough warm water into the bottom of the baking pan to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until almost set but still somewhat liquid in the center.
• Chill completely before serving. To unmold, run a small knife around the edge of the custard, invert onto a serving plate and give the ramekin a firm, sideways shake.
