I felt so hesitant to make this but I am SO GLAD. USE MILK INSTEAD OF WATER THOUGH! Creamier and more flavor! I did mess up on the caramel part several times until I realized that you have to stir it (unlike others have said) or else it doesn't work. Also, if it dries fast and starts to crack that's normal don't worry it will turn into liquid again when baked. Also, I used 1 cup of sugar. I had to bake mine for longer. My parents were super impressed and said it was just like they'd had at restaurants. My mom said it was the "BEST DESSERT EVER!". I had never had flan before so I don't know how to compare but I love custard so I decided to try it. I really like this and will probably make it a lot and it's so easy! This is great stuff! It seems so fancy and impressive yet it's easier than chocolate chip cookies.

SO great. Don't use the topping it calls for, make a crumble using brown sugar, melted butter, flour, vanilla, salt and cinnamon.

My mom use to buy these when I was a kid and I was happy to find out I could make them. I use white sugar in these from now on though, the first time I made these with powdered sugar they were a little too crunchy and sweet tasting. Oh and rainy days do actually effect these I have found out so make on a decent-ish day. If you don't have a copper bowl use a little over 1/2 tsp of cream of tartar after they start to foam IT MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE!! I add vanilla in mine. OH, and I don't like the idea of having a spoon hold open my oven (that's actually bad for it) so I turn the heat up a bit and cook them for an hour and they turn out great! For Halloween I made these orange and drizzle semi-sweet melted chocolate over them, they looked great and taste really good! I have made these a lot, they are so easy and good to make when you run out of ingredients but want something sweet. You can pop a lot of these babies onto one baking pan, I like that. I even halved the recipe and made loads. They go quick around here. I LOVE THESE! You don't feel bad about eating a bunch either, just tell yourself they are essentially air, but really good air. And HEY THESE ARE CHEEP TO MAKE! Go for it.
