This is almost like my flan recipe that I was about to post. The only thing I do different is that I do not use the whole eggs, I use 6 yolks instead. I don't use the almond extract, just the vanilla, and I add about 1/2 cup more of milk (if not, it's too sweet for me.) And of course, i devour it within an hour of taking it out of oven, once it's just cool enough for me to eat. My family doesn't bother with the presentation, they just cut a piece out and spoon some caramel over it...haha!

I love FLAN! To the critic that found it horrible, it is possible they cooked the sugar TOO Long which does give it an anwful taste!!!! FLAN is one on my favorite desserts, and this recipe is excellent. I prefer the individual molds, so I can have one each day.

delicious dessert, a little hard to make when you need something for the same day. Maybe you can find a faster and easier version of this same dessert.

My daughter works in a Mexican restaurant and loves the flans that they serve. One Sunday afternoon she decieded to try making some at home. She found this recipe, tried it and loved it. We thought it was pretty easy to make.
