A little sugar, a little vanilla, and a whole lot of golden magic. ????✨

Today in our Storybook Skillet, we're making silky homemade caramel flan, with creamy vanilla custard and beautiful amber caramel that gently flows down the sides.

???? CLASSIC CARAMEL FLAN RECIPE

For the caramel:

- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- ¼ cup water

For the custard:

- 4 large eggs
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Small pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Add the sugar and water to a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat without stirring until the syrup turns a rich amber color. Gently swirl the pan if necessary. Watch carefully to avoid burning.

2. Carefully pour the hot caramel into a solid 8-inch round baking pan. Using oven mitts, tilt to coat the bottom evenly. Let the caramel set.

3. In a bowl, combine the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, vanilla and salt. Whisk gently until blended without creating too much foam.

4. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh strainer for an extra-smooth texture.

5. Pour the custard over the set caramel in the baking pan.

6. Place the flan pan inside a larger, deep roasting pan. For safer handling, position the roasting pan on the oven rack before adding hot water to the outer pan until it reaches about halfway up the flan mold.

7. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for approximately 50–65 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a gentle wobble.

8. Carefully remove the flan mold from the water bath and let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate, covered, for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

9. Run a thin knife around the edge. Place a large plate over the mold and carefully invert both together.

10. Slowly lift the mold and watch the beautiful caramel flow over the flan!

Little Kitchen Tips ????

✨ Straining the custard makes it extra silky.

✨ A gentle water bath helps prevent overcooking and bubbles.

✨ Keep the custard from boiling for the smoothest texture.

✨ Let the flan chill completely before unmolding.

✨ Caramelized sugar is extremely hot. Never touch or taste it until cooled.
