Ingredients
  • 1 3/4 cups Sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons Water
  • 3 cups Whole Milk
  • 3 Eggs
  • 6 Egg Yolks
  • 1 tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 250°F.
  2. In a large frying pan, place 1 cup sugar and cinnamon.
  3. Place pan over low heat and caramelize, stirring continuously, until amber colored.
  4. Remove from heat. Slowly add water while stirring.
  5. Immediately pour caramelized sugar into four 8-ounce ramekins, swirling the cups to evenly coat the bottom.
  6. Pour milk in a saucepan.
  7. Place saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook until almost simmering. Remove from heat and set aside.
  8. In a medium mixing bowl, add eggs, egg yolks, remaining 3/4 cup sugar and vanilla. Beat with a whisk until pale yellow in color.
  9. Gradually add hot milk to egg mixture while stirring continuously.
  10. Strain milk/egg mixture through a fine-mesh strainer.
  11. Pour mixture into the ramekins, dividing equally. Skim any foam or bubbles off the surface of the custard.
  12. Place the ramekins in a roasting pan.
  13. Fill the pan with 2 inches of warm water, so that the water comes about halfway up the outsides of the ramekins. Do not get water into the ramekins.
  14. Cover ramekins with a sheet of parchment paper.
  15. Place pan of custards in preheated oven. Bake 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle of the flans.
  16. Remove from oven. Cool to room temperature on a cooling rack.
  17. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator overnight.
  18. Remove ramekins from water.
  19. Run a knife around the inside edge of the ramekins to loosen the flans.
  20. Gently invert and turn out the flans onto serving plates.
  21. Serve cold.
