A tad bit sweet, though the consistency is perfect. I agree with other reviewers that 1 cup of sugar produced entirely too much caramel sauce. Would probably make again, using less condensed milk.

I'm Puerto Rican and creamy flan is a staple of my island. Flan should not jiggle and cause the person to chase after it on a plate...lol. This recipe is exactly how I make it. Delicious. THe more eggs you put the more holes and less creamy, thus 3 eggs is perfect. IF you want to make it a Flan de queso (CHeese flan) just add a 4 oz package of cream cheese to the mix, it will make a nice slight creamy cheese taste without compromising the soft creaminess of this flan.

So, this was my first time cooking the sugar and I ended up burning it....I will definetly try again. The custard was a little bit eggy for me, so I think I will cut down on that as well.

i really liked this recipe, it was easy and came out wonderfully delicious. i have tried other more complicated recipes, with costly ingredients like heavy whipping cream and vanilla beans etc., but i really liked this one much better.

My first time making flan and it tasted great! Carmelizing the sugar took a lot of patience, and I didn't do the best job, so I'll have to work on that next time. The only other problem I had was getting it out of the pan... I made it in the evening and once it was cooler, I put it in the fridge for the next day. I had to soak the pan in warm water to loosen up the carmel before I could get the flan to come out.

I made this with my son for his Spanish project. Per reviewer suggestions, I added an additional egg and let it cook for 15 minutes longer because it was still very uncooked in the center. It came out perfect and his teacher raved! This was SO simple, much more so than I expected. Will definitely make again! I'm thinking cream cheese to the mix would be wonderful as well.

Oh my gosh! This is great! Mine did not come out looking quite as pretty as some of the other pictures but it tastes incredible. When they say that the sugar syrup dries fast it does! Literally in just a few seconds so follow the advice of others and put the pan in the oven for a few minutes so it is warm and the syrup will spread better.

I loved it! This was my first flan. I took reviewers suggestions and added 5 eggs total. This is just like this flan I ate at this cuban restaurant

I made the mistake of asking my neighbor what kind of desert he liked. Of course he said flan, I had never heard of it at the time. He went by a restaurant and picked one up for me to try! Love at first bite! I made this tonight and it was wonderful!! I used four eggs instead of 3 and used the hot water bath. I put it in the refrigerator over night and used the hot water bath to melt the caramel before serving. Perfect! Thanks for a great recipe!!!

This was my first time making flan, and I guess I didn't really know what to expect. The consistency wasn't as smooth as I'd liked, but the taste was fine.

Wonderful. I followed others and added one more egg for a total of 4 and cooked it in a hot water bath. I used by 8 inch square and when I check it after 60 minutes it was really, really liquidy. I cooked it for another 30 minutes and it was great. I put 1 cup of sugar in a fry pan on low heat and it took forever, by the time I spent a minute going to another room it got really brown. I tasted it and it seemed ok, but next time I'll be more careful. It just had a little tiny burned taste, but everyone ate it up. I'm going to make it again this week for a potluck.

I've been looking for "my" perfect flan recipe and finally found it! I especially like that this recipe only calls for 3 eggs which is much less than most recipes. I did "water bath" bake it though as I have always baked flan that way.

This was really delicious and easy to make. It is not what I am used to from flan, what I usually get at the Spanish bakeries is more dense. But this is quite delicious. Smooth and creamy. I used 5 eggs, mixed it all in my blender. I heated my pan in the oven for a few minutes before pouring the melted sugar in. I didn't have any problems melting the sugar, just stood over it and stirred until it melted. Somehow my pie pan cracked when I poured in the sugar. Also I baked it for 60 minutes in a water bath but the middle was still quite jiggly and I wasn't sure if it was done--did some research and flan should be jiggly in the middle.

This recipe did not do well for me. Not only did the sugar stick in the pie pan, but it came out in clumps when I tried to flip it over onto the plate.

Loved this recipe! I had to substitute the evaporated milk for whipping cream because when I opened the can of evaporated milk I realized it had expired and I didn' t have another one. Also, I had to bake it about 20 minutes longer than the recipe called for because the center looked way too undercooked when I took it out of the oven (I cooked it in a can as opposed to a shallow pie dish, maybe that's why it took longer). Despite these changes the flan came out perfect and it was a complete success among my guests!!!

Oh my heck, this was the first time I ever made Flan because I was scared to deal with boiling sugar but I made it and it was AWESOME. But I'd recommend 4 eggs instead of 3 but idk, I'd try it again with 3 to make it slightly healthier
