Leche Flan Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 big can (15oz) evaporated milk 
• 1 big can(14oz) condensed milk 
• 10 egg yolks 
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract 
• 3 aluminum molds (llanera) for leche flan 
• a pinch of salt 
• a dash of cinnamon 

    For the Caramel:

• 1/2 cup sugar 
• 1/2 cup water 

Procedure:

1. In a small bowl, mix thoroughly sugar & water and pour into the molds equally. Heat molds with sugar and water mixture on low fire until the sugar is caramelized. Set aside and let cool. Note: The caramelized mixture should solidify once totally cooled.
2. In a bowl, mix well the evaporated milk, condensed milk, egg yolks, vanilla, a dash of cinnamon and pinch of salt manually or by blender.
3. Pour gently the mixture on top of the caramel on the aluminum molds to about 1 1/4 inch thick. 
4. Cover molds individually with aluminum foil. Steam for about 30 minutes. To tell whether the leche flan is already cooked, insert a knife on the mixture and if it comes out clean then the flan is already cooked.
5. Let cool and keep refrigerated.

     How to serve: 

• Run a thin knife around the edges of the mold to loosen the Leche Flan. Place a platter on top of the mold and turn upside down.
