Baking At Home

This term on home economics we have been told to bake something at home. I chose to bake Leche-flan because I think it is the easiest dessert to bake. The world calls this dessert Spanish flan but, in the Philippines, it is called Leche flan. I decided to make this dessert without my parents helping me so that in the future ill be more independent of what to do in life. 

                   
                      Oven-Baked Leche flan

Ingredient:

  • 6 egg yolks
  • 3/4 cups granulated white sugar.
  • 1 can condense milk.
  • 1 cup of fresh milk or evaporated milk.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.






    Method:

    1. Pre-heat oven to 350F
    2. Heat a saucepan in stovetop. Add the sugar. Continue to cook until it starts to melt. Adjust the heat to low and cook while gradually stirring until sugar turns into caramel.
    3. Once the sugar turns into caramel. put it on a square baking pan or a llanera if you have one. Then let it cool down.
    4. Beat the egg yolks in a mixing bowl.
    5. Gradually add the condensed milk while beating.
    6. Slowly pour the fresh milk into the mixing bowl and then add the vanilla extract. Beat until all the mixture becomes smooth.
    7. Pour the mixture into the square baking pan with caramel. Then Cover the square baking pan with aluminum foil.
    8. Put the Square baking fan in a roasting pan.
    9. Pour boiling water into the roasting pan until the water level reaches 1 to 1 1/2 inches.
    10. Bake the Leche flan for 50 minutes.
    11. Remove from the oven. Let it cool down
    12. Transfer to a serving plate. Serve.
    13. Share and enjoy!

    1. This sounds amazing Lars. I am most impressed with your baking this Leche flan. I sounds very similar to a Creme Caramel and that is one of my favourite desserts. I like the fact that you have included the recipe, method and step by step by step photos. Well done! What shape is a llanera pan?

    2. Your Leche Flan looks delicious, Lars. Your recipe for your baking at Home task is clearly set out and the photos are excellent. I agree with Mrs Rhodes that your Leche Flan is similar to a Creme Caramel.
      Did you know that Step 9 of the recipe that describes how the Flan is cooked is called the "waterbath" method?
