Flan is an oven-baked caramel custard dessert that is quite popular in Mexico. It is made with a top layer of custard paired with the sweetness of a light caramel sauce. When chilled and then inverted to un-mold, the sauce pours over the custard. The typical flavoring is simply vanilla, but there are numerous variations -- coffee being my favorite!
Here my attempt in advertising my vanilla flan. . . Enjoy!
