I'm a Cuban America. My family has a long tradition of making flans, bread puddings, and Spanish custards... Avoid this recipe. The amount of eggs is not sufficient for the custard to set. I tried making this recipe because I'm no longer in South Florida and flans are difficult to come by where I attend college. I was attracted to the resourcefulness of recipe, no special ingredients only whole milk, eggs, and sugar... this will not work. You're better off using condensed and evaporated milk. Sadly, I wasted 4 whole eggs, two cups of milk and sugar...
