Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Pour the sugar into a skillet over medium heat. Stir the sugar continually until it begins to brown and clump together. Keep stirring until the sugar completely melts and dissolves into a golden-brown syrup. Remove the syrup from the heat as soon as it has dissolves as it can burn.
- Working quickly, carefully pour the caramel into a 7-inch round pan or a special flan pan (flanera) as shown in the photos in the blog post. Pour the caramel evenly into the bottom of the pan so the entire bottom is coated. If you need to, use an oven mitt or potholders to move the pan from side to side to get the caramel evenly distributed. If the caramel hardens too quickly, you can carefully reheat the pan by placing it directly on the stove or on the skillet for a few seconds.
- Set the caramel-coated pan aside to cool and harden.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, whole milk and vanilla extract. Whisk together until everything is fully combined, but try not to overwhisk so that there aren't too many air bubbles in the mixture.
- Pour the custard mixture into the caramel-coated pan. Cover the top of the pan with the lid (if using a flanera) or tightly with aluminum foil.
- Place the flan pan in a large baking dish and pour enough water in the dish until it reaches about halfway up the pan. Carefully place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- Carefully remove the dish from the oven, and then lift the flan pan out of the water bath. Remove the lid or aluminum foil and let it cool to room temperature. The flan may still be a little jiggly, but that's okay - it will continue to cook with the residual heat.
- Once it's cooled, cover with the lid or aluminum foil and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
- To serve, remove the lid or aluminum foil and slide a knife along the edges of the pan to loosen it up. Place a plate or platter on top of the flan, grab a hold of both the plate and the pan and quickly and securely flip it over so that the flan is now upside down. Carefully lift off the flan pan. Your flan should be sitting in the caramel on the plate, ready to enjoy!
- Carefully lift the flan pan up. The flan should be on the plate - if it's not, place the pan back down and let it sit for a few minutes. Don't freak out! It will loosen up and slide out. You could try tapping the sides of the pan a bit or even giving the sides a squeeze.
- Slice the flan and serve with the rich caramel sauce!

FLAN MEXICANO (MEXICAN FLAN)
This recipe was given to me by my mother-in-law, who is from Durango, Mexico. I had to beg her for years to give this recipe to me. Finally, she gave it to me for Christmas. I added orange zest, but the original recipe calls for just pure vanilla. You can use almond extract as well.

Steps:
- Place sugar in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar melts and turns a golden amber color, about 10 minutes. Watch carefully once syrup begins to change color, because it burns easily. Carefully pour the melted sugar syrup into a flan mold. Let cool.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Pour whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, egg yolks, orange juice, orange peel, vanilla extract, and cornstarch into a blender, and blend for a minute or so, until the mixture is smooth. Pour in the cream, and pulse several times to incorporate the cream. Pour the mixture over the cooled caramel syrup in the flan mold.
- Line a roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel. Place the flan mold on the towel, inside roasting pan, and place roasting pan on oven rack. Fill roasting pan with boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the center of the flan is set but still slightly jiggly when moved, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Let the flan cool, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours. To serve, run a sharp paring knife around the inside of the mold to release the flan. Invert a plate on the mold, flip the mold over, and gently remove the mold to unmold the flan and reveal the syrupy caramel topping.

Using another of my _and why did I buy this_ ingredients - Media Cream, this recipe was shamelessly borrowed from _Daisy Cooks_ as in Daisy Martinez. Media Crema is sold in cans and found in the ethnic aisle of your grocery. It contains 40 calories and 4 g fat per tablespoon. For comparison, per tablespoon, heavy whipping cream contains 50 calories and 5g fat per while half & half checks in at about 18 calories and 1.5 g of fat. Note: chilling time not included in total prep time.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Bring a tea kettle of water to a boil.
- Make the caramel: Have ready a 9-inch glass pie plate and a pair of potholders or oven mitts.
- Pour the sugar into a small, heavy saucepan. Set it over medium-low heat until the sugar starts to liquefy and form clumps.
- Stir slowly and constantly; the sugar will eventually liquefy completely, then begin to color. Pay careful attention to the caramel at this point; once it starts to color it will darken quickly.
- Pull the pan from the heat when the caramel is the color of a bright, shiny penny. Scrape all the caramel into the pie plate, put on the mitts and grab the pie plate firmly. Carefully but quickly rotate so the bottom and halfway up the sides of the plate are coated with caramel.
- Set the prepared pan into a shallow roasting pan.
- Make the filling: Combine the evaporated milk, condensed milk, milk, eggs, yolks, and vanilla in a blender jar. Blend on very low speed just until the eggs are blended, a few seconds.
- Add the Media Crema and blend a few seconds until smooth. Let stand for a minute then scoop off any foam that rises to the surface.
- Put the roasting pan with the caramel-lined pie plate in the oven. Pour the custard mix into the pie plate.
- Carefully pour enough water from the tea kettle into the roasting pan to come halfway up the side of the pie plate.
- Bake until the center of the flan is set, about 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature in the water bath.Refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 2 hours or up to 1 day.
- To serve, center a large plate over the flan and, with one quick flip invert the flan over the plate. Give it a few seconds-the flan will slip right out of the mold and onto the plate. Scrape any caramel left in the mold over the flan. Serve chilled.
- Be extremely careful when working with caramel: By the time the caramel is brown enough to pour into the mold it will be very hot-much hotter than boiling water. Handle the pot and pie plate carefully and, when tilting the pan, keep it at arm's length from you.

I don't remember where I originally found this recipe, but it was a hit when we served it at a dinner for a very large crowd. I just found a piece of paper with it written down, and I decided to post it on Recipezaar because I do not want to lose it again. Prep time does not include chilling completed flan overnight.
