Flan caramel

Ingredients

4 eggs, beaten
500 ml milk
1 and 1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla essence

In a bowl combine the vanilla, eggs and 3/4 cup sugar and mix well

Gradually add the milk and stir well

In a pan, add the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and stir constantly on a low heat

Once the caramel is formed, pour into a deep oven proof dish and spread it evenly

Pour the mixture in the same pan which already contains the caramel

Preheat oven on 350F / 175oCelsius

Pour water in a large oven proof pan and put the dish containing the mixture in the pan (water bath, bain marie)

Cook in the oven for about 1 hour or until the flan is completely set

Allow to cool, refrigerate and serve chilled.
