Flan in a Cup

© Kitchen Princess

Special flan is made
by pouring it in a teacup. Metal flan cups conduct heat and are hard to manage.
Making the flan in plastic is easier and it will come out prettier.

Flan: Makes 4 cups of flan: 1 ¾ cups of milk; 5
tablespoons of sugar; 3 eggs; a little bit of vanilla.

Caramel Sauce: 3 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon
water.

1. Put
   milk on low heat and add sugar. Stir well and when the sugar melts, stop
   the heat and cool for a minute. Make sure you don’t let the mild boil.
2. Break
   the eggs in a bowl and stir well.
3. Slowly
   pour the milk from step 1 into the bowl from step 2 and stir. Add some
   vanilla.
4. Pour
   the mix from step 3 through a strainer. This makes the flan smoother.
5. Make
   the caramel sauce in a small pot. Put the water and sugar in the pot and
   stir quickly over high heat. When it becomes brown, remove from heat and
   put it into four cups.
6. Pour
   the mix from step 4 into the cups over the caramel sauce.
7. Fill a
   pout with water and put a steamer about it. When the water starts
   steaming, stop the heat and put the cups in the steamer. Please be careful
   not to burn yourself. After 2 to 3 minutes on high heat, lower the heat
   and steam for another 13 to 15 minutes. When you put it on low heat, move
   the lid a little so some of the steam will escape. The point is to
   maintain it on low heat. If you put a towel under the lid, water won’t get
   into the flan.
8. Done!
   Top it with whipped cream or fruit and it’ll be GOOD!
