leche flan frenzy

last weekend, we attended 2 birthday partehs and our toka was leche flan. i only have 3 lyaneras so to make 9 leche flans, i had to make 3 batches. boy, i was so tired. i will not be in the mood to make leche flan in the next 20 years! i just found this recipe on the internet. nothing fancy but i think it's pwede na :) super daling gawin. 3 batches - ibang storya yan harharhar!


10 egg yolks

1 can condensed milk

1 big can evaporated milk

for the caramel:

1 cup sugar

3/4 cup water


1. to make the caramel, combine water and sugar. bring to a boil until it caramelizes.


2. pour the caramel into lyaneras.


lesson learned: i feel this is a better technique --> instead of adding water and caramelizing in a pot, use only sugar. put in lyaneras and "burn" the sugar by putting the lyaneras over fire - this one's faster! i'll do this next time :)


3. mix the egg yolks, condensed milk, evaporated milk. beat until well blended. pour into the lyanera with caramel. steam for about 20 minutes. you'll know it's done if you pierce it with a knife and the knife comes out clean!


my lola floring (bless her) used katya to filter any impurities but i haven't tried this yet - thus all the impurities! hahaha!


and finally!!!!! here's the finished product:


acheche! walang pic :) hehehe. well, you know what a leche flan looks like :p that's all folks!
