**Traditional Flan

Ingredients:

– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 4 large eggs
– 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
– 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
– 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. **Make the Caramel**:
– In a medium saucepan, melt the sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly until it turns a golden brown (careful not to burn it).
– Quickly pour the caramel into a round baking dish, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to let the caramel harden.

2. **Prepare the Custard**:
– In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
– Pour the custard mixture over the hardened caramel in the baking dish.

3. **Bake the Flan**:
– Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
– Place the baking dish in a larger baking pan and fill the larger pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the flan dish (creating a water bath).
– Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

4. **Cool and Serve**:
– Remove the flan from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature.
– Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
– To serve, run a knife around the edge of the flan to loosen it from the dish, then invert it onto a serving plate. The caramel sauce will flow over the top of the flan.
