Preparation duration: -1 minutes

Cooking duration: -1 minutes

 

Ingredients:

2 cups of condensed milk

6 eggs

3 limes

3/4 cup sugar

1 vanilla pod, sliced in half lengthwise

3 tablespoons water

2 cups whole milk

Equipment:

oven

frying pan

cake form

bowl

Cooking instruction summary:

  1. Preheat the oven to 360 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. To make the caramel, heat together the water and sugar gently over a medium flame for about 10 minutes, ensuring the mixture does not burn.
  3. Meanwhile, pour the condensed milk and whole milk into a pan. Add the zest of the limes. Slice the vanilla pod in half and carefully scrape out the vanilla seeds and add these to your milk mixture.
  4. Simmer the milk slowly for fifteen minutes to let the flavours infuse.
  5. Once the caramel is ready, pour into a cake pan and swirl it around to evenly coat the bottom of the pan. Set aside.
  6. In a bowl, crack the eggs and beat together. Slowly pour a little of the warm milk , vanilla and lime mixture into the eggs. This will temper the eggs and prevent them from scrambling from the heat. Once the temperature of the eggs has been raised by the warm milk, pour in the rest of the milk. Pour all of the mixture into the cake pan over the caramel.
  7. Cook the cake pan in a water bath by placing the pan inside a larger pan which is filled half way with water. Place in the oven and cook for 45 minutes to an hour.
  8. Once ready, allow to cool and place inside a fridge overnight. The flan is then ready to be flipped over gently and served.

Food Joke

The dinner party Freda and Moshe Levy won 8 million pounds in the National Lottery. They immediately went out to begin a life of living in luxury. They bought a luxurious mansion in Northwood, surrounded themselves with all the material wealth imaginable and decided to hire a butler. After much searching, they found the perfect one. One day, they instructed the butler to set up a dinner for four because they were inviting their friends, the Cohens, over for dinner and they will be going out for the day. When they returned that evening, they found the table set for six. When they asked the butler why six places were set when they specifically instructed him to set the table for four, the butler replied: "The Cohens called and said that they were bringing the Bagels."
