- .RH MOD.RECIPES-SOURCE FLAN D "10 Dec 86" 1987
- .RZ "FLAN" "A rich Mexican custard"
- This recipe comes from the \fIDelicias Culinarias\fR cookbook that I
- brought from Mexico.
- .IH "Serves 4"
- .IG "\(34 cup" "sugar" "150 g"
- .IG "2" "eggs"
- .IG "2" "egg yolks"
- .IG "2 cups" "milk" "5 dl"
- .IG "1 tsp" "vanilla extract" "5 ml"
- .PH
- .SK 1
- In a small kettle, heat
- .AB "3 Tbsp" "40 g"
- of sugar with
- .AB "1 tsp" "5 ml"
- of water until the mixture turns brown. Pour the mixture into 4
- gelatin molds. Move the molds around so that
- the mixture coats the interior. Set aside.
- .SK 2
- Mix the eggs, sugar, milk, and the vanilla extract.
- .SK 3
- Pour the mixture into the molds.
- Put the molds over a deep pan with water (double boiler or \fIbain marie\fR
- technique) for 1 hr in a
- .TE 350 175
- oven. Keep the water in the pan at the same level by adding boiling
- water.
- .SK 4
- Cool and put it in the refrigerator. Unmold the \fIflan\fR before serving.
- .NX
- You can substitute liquor for some of the milk to make the \fIflan\fR
- richer. Personally, I use
- .AB "1 cup" "25 cl"
- of milk and
- .AB "1 cup" "25 cl"
- rompope (Mexican eggnog).
- .PP
- Be careful when coating glass molds as they can break because of the
- sudden change in temperatures. You have to do it fast as the mixture
- hardens very quickly.
- .SH RATING
