Flan/ Caramel Custard
Well, it is a bit of trick to include this recipe in the ABC series, because I had already planned chakali recipe for this alphabet. Then I remembered that it is also called Flan, and voila this beautiful recipe entered the list this month (And yes fresh cherry cupcakes remembered they were eggless :) )
About this recipe, my mom made them in pressure cooker often when she had excess milk and eggs at home which she wanted to lure us in to finishing. I remember the pride my father had on his face on knowing how talented his wife was in the kitchen. I do not think he liked the recipes other than what he was aware but he never discourages any of us from making new dishes ever, for he appreciates the fact that he has a family that loves to cook and experiment. So basically both parents are responsible for our interests in food as such..My little family, husband and son do not like this custard a bit, no absolutely not, I made it many times and each time the same expression, okay..but then I stopped feeling bad when I realized that they genuinely do not like this.
I continue to make this, because I firmly believe that the decision about what gets cooked is completely mine.
Ingredients
1 litre Full fat milk
4 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 tspn vanilla
3 tbsp sugar
1 tspn butter
Method
1) Grease your flan dish / ramekins with a little butter
2) In another bowl, beat the eggs, add the milk and sugar and mix until the sugar is fully dissolved. Alternatively you can boil tke milk and sugar and add the eggs when this milk mixture has completely cooled down. Add vanilla to it.
3) In a pan, heat 3 tbsp of sugar with 1 tbsp water. let it come to a boil and then watch it simmer until it turns amber in color. Stop at that point as it may become bitter after that
4) Pour this sugar in the moulds about 1/4 inch in depth.
5)Pour the milk mixture on top.
) Cover the moulds with foil papoer to seal.
7) Place these moulds in a water bath (large baking tin filled with some water
8) Bake these moulds in preheated oven for 15 min at 200c.
9) When done, let them cool down a bit.
10) Run water on the sides of each mould. open the foil, run a butter spoon around the edges and then turn it upside down, the melted caramel will ooze out along with,
Serve hot or cold
