✅ Instructions:

1. Make the Caramel:

• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water.

• Let it melt and simmer without stirring until it turns a deep amber color (about 5–7 minutes).

• Quickly pour the caramel into ramekins or a mold, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Let it set.

2. Prepare the Custard:

• In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

• Pour the custard mixture over the set caramel in each mold.

3. Bake:

• Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

• Place the flan molds in a baking dish filled halfway with hot water (water bath).

• Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

4. Cool and Unmold:

• Let the flan cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

• To serve, run a knife around the edges and invert onto a plate.
