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!
I start with this recipe from filipinofoodrecipes.net: and have some variations from Cris.
http://www.filipinofoodrecipes.net/leche-flan.htm
USE 2 CDM CONTAINERS SO IT'S NOT SO DEEP
1 CDM medium aluminum bowl, and the small bowl.
CARAMELIZE DIRECTLY IN CONTAINER
In the CDM aluminum bowls that will be used for the flans.
10TB sugar w/ 1 tsp water in the medium bowl.
5-7TB sugar w/ 1 tsp water in the medium bowl.
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 50 MINUTES (20 minutes for 1.5 inches thick)
Double-boil in the CDM large+medium pots.
Cool > refrigerate > loosen > turn upside down & serve.
