My mother taught me how to make this flan. It's easy to make and won't break your budget.

Steps

1

In an oven proof pan pour the cup of sugar. Set the temperature to medium low and let the sugar melt until it turns to a light caramel color. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.*Do not let it burn. It will taste bitter if you do so.
2

In a blender add all the ingredients. Blend until everything is well incorporated. Then carefully pour the mixture inside the caramel pan. You will hear crackling, do not worry this is normal.
3

Preheat oven at 375°F. Put the pan at 'Bain Marie', Maria bath or double boiler. Add at least 2 cups of water on the bottom pan and then put the caramelized pan with flan mixture inside the other pan. Cook for at least an hour. Check the water halfway through in case you need to add more. You'll know it's done when the center is firm. Then take out and let cool for at least 2 hours.
