Servings: 4
Serving Size: 1 each

Ingredients
- 12 tablespoons sugar, divided
- 2 cups fat free milk (or lactose free milk)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- nutmeg (optional)

A light dessert typically served with Mexican cuisine.

Directions

Preheat oven to 325Âº F.
Spray flan baking dishes with vegetable cooking spray. In
a heavy sauce pan over medium heat, add 8 tablespoons of sugar. Stir constantly until sugar
dissolves and becomes clear. Continue cooking and stirring until sugar turns a light golden brown.

Immediately pour sugar mixture into flan dishes, dividing mixture evenly. Tilt baking dishes
immediately, coating the bottom of the baking dishes with the liquified sugar.

In a medium
bowl, whisk milk, eggs, 4 tablespoons of sugar, vanilla, and nutmeg together until smooth. Divide
mixture evenly between the baking dishes. Place the filled baking dishes into the 9"x13" pan.
Pour hot water into pan to approximately 1" below the top of the flan baking dishes.

Bake 45
minutes or until a knife inserted into the center of the custard comes out clean.

Remove
flan baking dishes from hot water bath and cool on a wire rack.

When cooled, chill for 2
hours before serving.

To serve, run a knife around the outside edge of the flan and invert
the individual flans onto dessert plates.

Tip: If the flan does not remove
easily, dip the flan dish in hot water for a few seconds before inverting onto a serving dish.
