ok! let me tell u my story. I've been making this flan and I absolutely love it! so yesterday I wanted to make it for my in-laws (who are from Puerto Rico). I wanted to bake it, cool it and then send it home with my brother-in-law. As I'm putting everything together, out of all the times that I've made this, I actually paid very special attention to the directions to make sure it comes out perfect. And I realize that the recipe calls for water IN THE MIX!! well, all this time, I never added water. All this time I just thought that was the water they wanted you to boil and since I never paid any mind to that part, because I felt that you need alot more than 1 3/4 cups I always just dismissed that part. And yesterday I realize that you put water in the mix. So of course I can't remember if I ever added water before or maybe I just forgot about that part. I add the water! disaster!!! first of all, it takes alot longer than 1 hour. If you omit the water it's an hour, but with the water no! it's more like an hour and a half. and on top of that, I let it cool in the oven. I decided I will not send it home with him because now I'm worried about how its going to taste. So i took it out of the oven, i cut a piece, and its "eggy/raw". So i went to toss it and my husband suggested that i put it in the fridge and see what happens tomorrow. Well, it came out fabulous! but I'm glad i didn't send it to my in-laws. Next time!
