Ingredients
¾ cup sugar
5 tablespoons water
1½ teaspoons vanilla
½ teaspoon cinnamon
10 eggs
2 cans sweetened condensed milk
1 can evaporated milk
1 9x13" Pyrex pan (for water bath)
1 8x8" Pyrex pan (for flan)
Preparation
Step 1
In a small saucepan, stir together the sugar, water, and vanilla.
Step 2
Heat over medium, stirring until the sugar caramelizes to an amber colour.
Step 3
Add cinnamon and let cool to room temperature.
Step 4
Coat the inside (up to halfway) of the 8x8" pan with the caramel. Reserve any extra caramel.
Step 5
In a mixing bowl, beat eggs until frothy.
Step 6
Slowly mix in condensed milk, then evaporated milk.
Step 7
Pour mixture into the caramel-coated pan.
Step 8
Place the 8x8" pan inside the 9x13" pan. Add water to the outer pan (about ¾ full), being careful not to overflow
Step 9
Bake at 350°F for 40 minutes
Step 10
Check doneness by inserting a knife; it should come out with slight residue, but not liquid.
Step 11
Cool completely. Pour reserved caramel on top. Refrigerate and serve.
