Special Leche Flan

Ingredients

• 30 eggs
• 56 ounces evaporated milk
• 36 ounces condensed milk
• sugar

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare caramel base by putting 1-2 tbsps sugar on each linera and running the pans on the stove, using tongs to move pans over very low flame. It will take just a couple of minutes to melt the sugar into a rich, brown liquid.

2. 2

   Separate yolks. Remove all white as possible.

3. 3

   Add evaporated and condensed milk.

4. 4

   Mix mixture with a spoon in one circular direction, avoiding building of “foams” in the mixture.

5. 5

   Strain the mixture into lineras with a cheesecloth to remove the excess white part of the egg.

6. 6

   Cover the lineras tightly with aluminum foil.

7. 7

   Arrange lineras in a deep aluminum pan (ones used for roasting or those used for serving in buffets will do nicely) filled with water halfway of the lineras.

8. 8

   Add more water in the middle of the cooking time, if needed, to prevent burning of bottom.

9. 9

   Cook in oven at 375°F for around 30-40 minutes. The water-bath is more like “steam-cooking” than baking. Insert a toothpick in the center to check if done.

10. 10

    Cool in the refrigerator for a few hours.
