Crème Caramel (Flan)
Valentine's Day Lacto-Ovo Vegetarian Recipes Eggs Desserts Oven Recipes
The tiredness, hangover, and weariness at the sound of the word "food" have passed - all aftereffects of my brother's wedding. So I thought I'd treat us to a fine dessert. On this occasion, we also celebrate the 10,000 e-retete fans on Facebook. What do you say? Care for some crème caramel?
Note: when I make it just for me and my husband, I use 1 egg + 3 tablespoons sugar + 200ml milk + a little vanilla extract for the milk mixture. And I caramelize the dish with 2 level tablespoons of sugar.
Ingredients
1 liter milk
5 eggs
200g sugar
1 packet vanilla sugar
Caramel
8 tablespoons sugar
Servings: 5
How to prepare crème caramel (flan)
- Caramelize the sugar in a pan over very low heat until it turns golden. Coat 5 individual heat-resistant dishes (250ml each) with it, including the sides. Let the dishes cool.
* I prefer to caramelize about 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar in each individual dish because it's easier and less messy - Meanwhile, beat the eggs with the sugar (including vanilla sugar) until the sugar dissolves. Gradually add the milk and mix well.
* Instead of vanilla sugar, you can use 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - When the molds are cool, pour the milk mixture into them.
- Place the molds in a tray and pour warm water into the tray until it reaches halfway up the molds (bain-marie). Bake at 150°C for 1 hour, then another 15 minutes at 170°C.
- When you take the custard out of the oven, it will wobble like jelly when touched. Run a knife gently around the edges of the molds. Let cool and then refrigerate.
- When serving, flip them onto small plates. You can decorate with whipped cream or ice cream.
