Flan
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
- 3 large eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup light cream
- Put the caramel ingredients in a saucepan (preferably Teflon-coated) over medium heat with 1/3 cup water and simmer for about 12 minutes, until bubbles on the surface reach a light amber color.
- If the sugar begins to crystallize on the side of the saucepan, brush it with a wet pastry brush.
- Swirl the caramel as needed, but do not stir.
- When the caramel turns light brown, quickly pour it into six l-cup ramekins, being careful not to get any on your skin.
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Fill an 18 by 12 by 2-inch cake pan with an inch of water and place it in the oven.
- To make the custard, whisk the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl until well blended, or whisk in an electric mixer at low speed.
- Heat the milk and light cream to 160F in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Remove from the heat and slowly pour into the egg mixture, whisking continuously for 1 minute.
- Pour the whisked mixture into another bowl through a strainer.
- Add equal amounts of the strained mixture to each of the six caramel-coated ramekins.
- Place the ramekins in the water-filled cake pan, cover with a sheet of aluminum foil, and bake for 35 minutes or until a paring knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the ramekins from the oven and allow to cool.
- Flan may be served at room temperature or refrigerated.
- To serve, run a paring knife along the edge of the cup, then place a plate on top of the ramekin and invert.
