Spanish Flan

Yield: 1 - 10 inch round pie

Ingredients

• 1 cup white sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt sugar until liquefied and golden in color. Work in layers of small amounts of sugar at a time, adding sugar and working more in as it melts
3. Carefully pour hot syrup into a 10 inch round glass baking dish, turning the dish to evenly coat the bottom and sides. Set aside.
4. In a large bowl, beat eggs. Beat in condensed milk, evaporated milk and vanilla until smooth. Pour egg mixture into baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil.
5. Place the dish on a lined baking dish to catch any overflow during baking
6. Bake in preheated oven 60 minutes. Let cool completely.
7. Chill for several hours or overnight
