    OMG! SO GOOD, authentic Spanish Flan! Just eggs & milk, no fillers or tricks like condensed milk! Worked perfectly - I've never made flan before. But my success shows it's fool-proof! Make this - so special! Perfect instructions & science know-how. Suggest writing it out first.

    Despite all the negative comments about how their recipes are better or how eggy it looks or taste like or how much talking you put in the video. Sorry guys, your versions are not only versions out there and are not best for everyone. So, last night, I followed the instructions exactly how Thomas showed in the video, and it came out so perfect, and this is my first time making it. Today, I take it to work to share with my colleagues, and the whole batch is gone in an hour. Everyone said it’s light and delicious. Thank you so much! Keep up your good work and ignore those people who never appreciate or realize there are much more than what they know in their own small world.

    • @hcccss12
      @hcccss12 4 года назад +5

      Faisal AL Haratani I’m Brazilian and I make this all the time. Here is my recipe for the custard base: 1 can of condensed milk, 2 cans of whole milk (using the same can of condensed milk to measure), 2 whole eggs, and 3 egg yolks. I also splash a tiny (and I mean tiny bc it will change the flavor) amount of vanilla extract in there and mix. Pour the mixture in a pan coated with the caramel sauce (I use one cup water and one cup sugar to make mine. And I know it’s ready once the sauce turns into an amber color). When pouring, I recommend you pour gently on top of a spoon that way the mixture layers on top of the caramel sauce instead of mixing together. I also suggest you use one of those Bundt pans that have a hole in the middle because it will cook faster. Place the pan in a water bath (like the video) and place in an oven at 350 degrees. If you don’t have a roasting pan like the one in the video, I use a large pot and place my Bundt pan on top. Works every time. Usually takes about an hour and a half to cook, but I know mine is ready whenever u stick a knife in and it comes out clean ☺️. I allow the flan to cool outside of the oven before flipping or placing in a fridge. Best served cold so if you do it in the morning you should be good to go at night 😁.

    In the Filipino culture, flan is a major dessert for special occasion from the Spanish influence during colonization. I am watching you make it using the same techniques and the same size pan. There are a few things different we use. We use a can of evaporated milk (fresh milk is not randomly available in the Philippines), a can of condensed milk, of course sugar and most of all 10 yolks and 2 whole eggs. Also, instead of adding vanillaor for flavoring or nice smell, we soak lime zest in the evaporated milk for an hour then we strain the milk. Same cooking procedure.

    The melting point of sugar is 366.8 deg F. If you put the sugar in the baking pan that will be used for the flan and put it in a 400 deg F oven, it will be the easiest way to get caramel in the baking pan prior to adding the custard.

    No need for 10 eggs people!! Just grab 4 eggs, 1 can of evaporated milk, 1 can of condensed milk, 1 tbsp of vanilla. Blend everything. Sift everything. Pour it into a pan with caramel and thats it. For the caramel 1 cup of sugar. In a pan on medium heat put the sugar and it will start dissolving on its own.

    • @mynguyen6995
      @mynguyen6995 4 года назад +1

      This is just a guess but I think your mom recipe is a spain style flan, which use condense milk and/or evaporated milk. The one being shown here is a french style flan or creme caramel, which use mainly milk and eggs. I personally prefer the french style because it allow me to control to the sweetness and richness of the flan.

    • @mynguyen6995
      @mynguyen6995 4 года назад +1

      Minh Carter that is definitely a french influenced recipe. In asia we don’t typically have access to oven so we often steam it. Steaming is faster compare to baking. The only cons to steaming is that it cooks the custard too fast and boils it, creating holes in the final result. Baking in water bath cooks the custard slowly and result in a more velvety result 😊

    This video nor the martha stewart recipe website states if the eggs need to be at room temperature. Does anyone know if the eggs need to be at room temp for this recipe. I made this flan with eggs straight from the fridge which may explain why my finished flan looks different than in the video. But maybe I mixed the eggs to much or maybe i didn't temper it correctly. Not 100% sure why mines turned out the way it did which is frustrating. Regards, Mark.

      Here in the Philippines we use condesed and evaporated milk in the custard and just mix everything. We dont heat it up.We sometimes use calamansi for a hint of lime. We would strain,steam, cool and refrigerate.

      Very true! I'm Filipino and my grandma makes a leche flan using condensed milk, and it so delicious and dense! When I moved stateside, I was very surprised to find out it was a common dish.

    What a beautiful flan!
    Some tips for whoever is going to make this:
    1- You can use a baking pan with a hole in the middle so it bakes faster;
    2- You can heat the milk in the same pan that you made your caramel, that way the remaining caramel will melt into the milk giving it a bit extra flavor, plus it helps cleaning the pan;
    3- You can use equal parts of milk and sweetened condensed milk instead of sugar, just mix all together with no need to heat the milk.

      u can also skip water for the caramel n just shake/move around the pan. my mom does it like that(cuban) n it doesnt caramelize. just dont put any utensil in it

  • @chelseasummers2365
    @chelseasummers2365 2 года назад +11

    Be sure to make enough caramel so that you also coat the sides of the pan. Doing this means you don’t need to loosen it with a knife. It releases from the pan a lot easier.

    I finally made the caramel and it’s the best way. I’ve been making flan for 20 years now but was always hit and miss with the Caramel. But now, I’ve never had to throw it away after watching this video. The caramel I make now is perfect. I love Thomas Joseph’s videos the best. He explains so well how to do it the right way and the reasons why you make a mistake. 👍🏻 he has the best recipe videos.
