SMOOTH & CREAMY! This was my first time making flan and it was so easy. Perfect instructions! I used 2% milk by mistake but couldn't have had better results. I will use it next time too! Thank you Bobby Kleinveld for sharing your recipe!

This was a really good and creamy flan recipe. The directions are spot on.

I almost gave this four stars, but it just didn't have the flan flavor I was looking for. I made it because I had all of the ingredients, which wasn't the case for the other flan recipes. It was okay, but it tasted too egg-y. Not bad, and worth a try if you just really want to make flan and can't make a run to the store, but I will be trying a different recipe this time.

This is hard to mess up! I used 1 Tablespoon of cornstarch instead of 2 egg yolks...came out flippin' fantastic!! You must be a fan of this type of dessert to appreciate it. My boyfriend didn't like it, but he isn't a fan of desserts with the custard type texture. I didn't use a dishcloth underneath and it still came out perfect!

THANK YOU!!! I spent over an hour combing the internet looking for a milk-only custard/flan recipe. All the others have evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and/or heavy cream -- none of which I have on hand today. My craving for my mother's baked custard has been satisfied! I substitued 2 tablespoons of Kahlua for equal amount reduced from milk, per another recipe found here on AllRecipes. YUM!

Excellent flan recipe. I always cut back the sugar in the recipes but other than that I love the egg pudding-like texture of this recipe.

This was awesome! I didn't have custard cups so I did the flans in two glass pie pans. I just did two recipes of the sugar topping and put one in each pan. Be careful not to overcook the sugar... I did in one of them and it came off with a wee bit of a burnt flavor to it. The only thing about doing big ones is that you have to be super careful taking them out of the pan. One of mine fell to pieces... but the family still devoured it :)

I love flan and mine didn't turn out as well as I hoped. Next time, I will use someone else's idea of using maple syrup. I think it will be easier and will have the same taste.
