Prep Time: 30 mins

Cooking Time: 50 mins

Total: Approximately 5 hours mins

Ingredients

1 cup granulated sugar
4 large organic eggs
1 can (14 ounces) high-quality sweetened condensed milk
1 can (12 ounces) premium evaporated milk
1 vanilla bean pod (or 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract)

Instruction:

Elevated Caramel Infusion:
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, meticulously caramelize the granulated sugar over medium heat. Stirring occasionally, achieve a deep amber hue that boasts a complexity of flavor.
- With masterful precision, pour the caramel into the base of four individual ramekins, gracefully tilting them to ensure a uniform coating. Allow the caramel to cool and crystallize into a golden artwork.
Artisanal Egg & Milk Fusion:
- Set the oven to a refined temperature of 325°F (160°C).
- In a vessel of distinction, meticulously whisk the organic eggs until their essence intertwines, resulting in an exquisite amalgamation of color and texture.
- Tenderly split the vanilla bean pod, extracting its seeds as if releasing a symphony of flavor. Infuse these seeds (or incorporate the vanilla extract) into the egg composition.
- With a gentle hand, incorporate the sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk, forging a symmetrical harmony of silkiness.
Flan Craftsmanship:
- With the precision of an artisan, pour the egg and milk symphony into the elegantly caramel-draped ramekins.
Water Bath & Culinary Poetry:
- Nestle the filled ramekins within a regal baking dish. Grace the creation with a water bath, with hot water embracing the ramekins, reaching the midpoint of their stature.
- The ensemble shall gracefully dance into the preheated oven.
Nuanced Conduction:
- Allow the flan to caress the heat for 50-60 minutes, until it exhibits a poised set at the periphery, while a mesmerizing wobble graces its center.
Patience Rewarded:
- Upon concluding its ballet, gently remove the ramekins from the water bath, allowing the custard to cool to a refined room temperature.
Culinary Crescendo:
- Embrace the spirit of anticipation as the flan rests, enveloped in plastic wrap, within the embrace of your refrigeration sanctuary. Let it mature for no less than 4 hours, or ideally, through the alchemy of an overnight interlude.
Sensory Revelation:
- In a gesture of culinary theater, employ a dexterous knife to liberate the flan from its ramekin. Invert the ramekin onto a plate, guiding the caramel cascade to render an enchanting masterpiece.
