Recipe

Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 15 mins Ready Time: 20 mins


• heat 1 cup of sugar (dry) in a saucepan over medium heat. do not stir until you start to see the sugar melting and bubbling. when the sugar is completely melted and golden brown, pour it into a 9 inch glass or ceramic pie plate and tilt to coat.
• in a large bowl, mix the milk, remaining sugar, vanilla and eggs until well blended. pour into the pie plate.
• cook in the microwave at 50% power for 7 minutes, then cook at 100% power for 8 minutes. a knife inserted into the center of the flan should come out clean when it is done. if it is not done after the 8 minutes, cook at one minute intervals, checking each time. cool and refrigerate before serving.
• to serve, warm the bottom of the pie plate over a pan of simmering water to loosen the caramelized sugar. place a serving plate on top of the dish, and invert so that the flan is on the serving dish and the caramelized coating is on top.
