Simple Flan
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
¼ cup water
2 cups milk
3 large whole eggs
3 large egg yolks
½ tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Set molds or small baking dish in a deep baking dish. Place half the sugar (1/2 cup) in a small sauce pot, drizzle the water over it. Bring to a boil-swirling pot occasionally-reduce heat.
2. As soon as syrup turns amber, remove from heat and pour into molds/small dish. Tilt molds/dish to coat bottom and sides. Set aside.
3. Scald the milk ( heating just until a “skin” forms on top) with remaining ½ cup of sugar in a saucepan. In a mixing bowl-whisk well the eggs, yolks, and vanilla. Slowly beat/whisk the hot milk in.
4. Add to molds/dish. Make sure mold/dish is a larger dish!
5. Fill larger dish with water to come halfway up the sides of mold/dish. Bake until flan is set-about 50-60 minutes. Cool and refrigerate to chill.
6. Invert flan onto serving dish
