Flan (aka Baked Custard)

A simple, yet classic dessert.  I often make this when I need to make a dessert ahead of time.  Cover and it can be stored in the fridge for a day or two.

Be sure to grease your ramikens so they unmold easily. Be sure to strain your mixture so it's smooth & creamy.

Be sure strain your mixture as your pour it in so it's creamy and smooth.  Otherwise, egg protein will make it grainy...

You can add the water for your water-bath on the counter and carefully transfer to the oven. Or set on the oven grate and then pour in...

Let it chill and you have an easy, delicious make-ahead dessert. This is great for busy holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas...
