SMOOTH AND CREAMY LECHE FLAN

Steps:

• Prepare the caramel. Scoop 3 tablespoons of sugar in each (3 small) llanera or flan molds or 4 tablespoons for big llanera. Place the llanera on top of the stove over low heat. When the sugar starts to liquefy, using tongs, turn the llanera in a circular motion to prevent the sugar from burning and let them caramelize evenly. Remove from heat once all granules have turned liquid and are light brown. Set aside.
• Place the egg yolks in a bowl, and slowly beat them with a fork or whisk. Try not to beat too fast and create a lot of bubbles. Gradually add the milk and condensed milk while continuously stirring. Lastly, add the vanilla extract and zest of key lime or lemon and stir a couple of times more until all is well blended. Sieve the mixture with a strainer to remove undissolved bits.
• Pour the mixture into each mold. Tap the mold several times on a flat surface to get rid of trapped bubbles. Place the filled llanera or mold in a water bath and bake in the oven at 160°C/320°F for about 30 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Do not overcook or the will start to create tiny holes.
• Let them cool down and then chill in the fridge for at least an hour. When ready to serve, run a knife around the inner edges to separate the flan from the mold. Place a serving plate top-side down over the llanera and flip them over to transfer.

Steps:

• In a small pot, caramelize water and sugar. It should bubble until it turns caramel-colored. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, stir eggs and egg yolks until the membranes are completely broken. Do not beat or over-stir.
• Add the milks into the egg mixture and stir until smooth.
• Add vanilla.
• Stir again until smooth.
• Spread a cheesecloth over a second mixing bowl. Pour the milk and egg mixture over the cheesecloth into the second mixing bowl. This will remove any clumps of egg. This step isn't necessary, but makes the flan uniformly smooth.
• Pour the caramelized sugar into a cake pan. Tilt the pan to spread the caramelized sugar around the rim of the pan. If your sugar is not caramelized enough, the sugar will not stick to the sides of the pan.
• Pour the milk and egg mixture gently into the center of the cake pan.
• Fill a second pan that is bigger than the cake pan with hot water. Place the cake pan inside the pan filled with water. The water should reach half way up the cake pan.
• Place everything in the oven. Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for one hour.
• Flan will be ready once a toothpick inserted into the center of the flan cleanly removes from the flan.
• Let the flan cool for 30 minutes, then place in the refrigerator to cool.
• Once the flan is cooled completely, remove from the refrigerator. (You can do this about 20 minutes before serving.).
• If the edges of the flan look adhered to the side of the cake pan, take a butter knife and gently ream the flan away from the edges of the pan.
• Place a platter over the top of the cake pan. The platter should be larger than the cake pan.
• Slide the cake pan off of the table with the platter on top of it so that you have one hand (opened flat) holding the bottom of the cake pan and one hand (opened flat) resting firmly on top of the platter. Take a deep breath and quickly flip your hands so that the cake pan is on top and the platter is on the bottom.
• Gently shimmy the cake pan away from the platter to reveal your beautiful and tasty leche flan!
