• 1 cup sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 can evaporated milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup water

Method

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. 2

   In a saucepan over medium heat, add the sugar and cook until it melts and turns golden brown. Quickly pour the caramel into a round baking dish, swirling to coat the bottom evenly.

3. 3

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.

4. 4

   Pour the egg mixture over the caramel in the baking dish.

5. 5

   Place the baking dish in a larger baking pan and add water to the outer pan to create a water bath.

6. 6

   Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until a knife inserted comes out clean.

7. 7

   Remove from the oven and let it cool at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

8. 8

   To serve, run a knife around the edge of the flan and invert it onto a plate. Enjoy your Colombian Flan!
