Description
Forget the pudding or jello, try this custard instead. It’s sweet and rich, with a smooth texture that’s pleasing. Making it can be tricky and requires that the directions be followed exactly so as to not burn the sugar. A strainer is required, along with flan molds.
Ingredients
- 300 grams sugar
- 200 grams water
- 7 egg yolks
- 2 eggs
- 100 grams sugar
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 180 Celsius.
- Heat the 300 grams of sugar in a saucepan until it forms a caramel sauce and pour into miniature flan molds.
- Combine the 100 grams of sugar with the water in a separate saucepan to form a syrup by cooking on low for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Beat the yolks and eggs together and add to the syrup mixture little by little, stirring constantly. Strain twice and pour into the flan molds. Cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake in a water bath until firm, approximately 20 minutes for miniature custards.

Really easy way to make custard. Love this recipe, especially when I don't want to go all out to make a treat. These are very sweet and creamy. By far my favorite Spanish custard recipe.
