Cris' Flan

So, what do you do when your vacation rental neighbors leave you with all their eggs that they didn't use up during their vacation?

• The REAL Flan with just egg yolks!
• Ramos Fizz using egg whites
• Frittata using egg whites

I start with this recipe from filipinofoodrecipes.net: and have some variations from Cris.

CARAMELIZE DIRECTLY IN CONTAINER
In the CDM medium aluminum bowl that will be used for the flan.
15TB sugar w/ 1 tsp water: Never too much caramel - I always feel like there's never enough served in the restaurants. So, in my house, I put a lot!!!
You'll have a lot to caramelize sides of bowl. Let cool so caramel hardens before pouring mixture.
Bring to a boil just a few minutes to caramelize. Do NOT scorch.

MIX THE FLAN MIXTURE
Mix the 2 milks, egg yolks and vanilla in the CDM large bowl. Use just one container.
Pour into mould after caramel cools/hardens, then cover with aluminum foil.


STEAM THE FLAN FOR 40 MINUTES because it is thick
Double-boil in the CDM large pot.
Open-air do not cover.
Make sure bottom of mould does not touch pot - it floats.


Cool > refrigerate > loosen > turn upside down & serve.
