Flor's Leche Flan

As Flor explains: “This is like a caramel custard and is famous back in the country where I was born. We usually make this on special occasions. Some people have a different way of making this, but I create my own version, which is not too rich and yet it tastes heavenly. I always make my recipes according to my taste and it seems everybody likes it.” How to make Flor’s leche flan: key tips Start by making a toffee caramel that will grace the top of the flan. Remember not to stir the sugar and water mixture as it cooks. Your aim is for a smooth caramel and stirring it can cause crystals to form, leading to a grainy texture. You can remove the pan from the heat once it’s golden brown as it will continue to colour. Next, you’re creating the custard. This should come together quite easily as long as your eggs are airy and foamy and you whisk the evaporated milk in gradually. Straining the egg mixture though a fine sieve is important to ensure that your custard turns out beautifully smooth and silky. Don’t be tempted to remove your flan from the fridge too early – it needs to set for at least 6 hours, and ideally overnight, to fully set and firm up the custard. Chilling also allows the caramel to liquify, making the flan easier to turn out and serve. Key ingredients in Flor’s leche flan recipe This recipe uses a lot of eggs. When heated, the protein in the eggs sets the custard and forms the structure of the flan. Using a couple of extra yolks on their own provides extra richness and smoothness. Evaporated milk contributes to the flan’s rich flavour and creamy texture, while vanilla essence gives the custard a greater depth of flavour. Adore custard desserts?
