TIP! Make sure the flan is not over-cooked. To test, insert the flat-bladed spatula through the centre of custard. It should come out clean. For a smooth caramel, it’s important not to stir mixture after sugar has dissolved. 

Ingredients

¾ cup caster sugar

5 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

395g can sweetened condensed milk

375ml can creamy evaporated milk

Whipped cream and fresh strawberries, to serve

Method

  1. Arrange a folded tea towel over base of large roasting pan. Place a 20cm round cake pan on top of tea towel.

  2. Combine sugar and ½ cup water in a medium saucepan. Stir over a low heat until sugar is dissolved. Increase heat to high. Bring to boil. Boil, without stirring, for about 15 minutes, or until mixture turns a deep caramel colour. 

  3. Immediately pour caramel into cake pan to cover base. Set aside for about 10 minutes, or until set. 

  4. Whisk eggs and vanilla in a large bowl. Whisk in condensed milk and evaporated milk until combined. Strain mixture through a sieve over the caramel in pan. 

  5. Pour enough boiling water into roasting pan to come halfway up the side of the pan. 

  6. Cook in a moderately slow oven (160C) for about 35 minutes, or until custard is just set. It should have a slight wobble. Remove pan from water. Cool to room temperature. Cover pan. Refrigerate overnight.

  7. Loosen around edge of flan with the tip of a flat-bladed spatula. Hold a deep-sided serving plate on top of pan, then invert to remove flan. 

  8. Serve with whipped cream and fresh strawberries.
