Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs

  • 2 cups of condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Lemon zest from one lemon
  • Caramel to coat the pan with you can also make your own caramel by heating sugar-- see below*

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C)
  • Beat the eggs really well, and then beat in the condensed milk and vanilla until combined.
  • Beat in the whole milk.
  • Add the lemon zest and stir.
  • Coat a flan pan (any normal baking mold will do) with butter and then with caramel.
  • Pour in the egg and milk mixture, and place in a water bath (bain marie) for about 35-50 minutes (the time will depend on the pan you are using-- so after about 35 minutes check frequently).
  • When a toothpick inserted into the center of the flan comes out clean, it's ready!
  • Let the flan cool completely, then flip over onto a serving dish. Spoon extra caramel sauce on top and enjoy!
