Head oven to 350 degrees

Add about 1 to 1 1/4 cup of cane sugar to a non stick pan and turn on heat to melt sugar

Higher heat

Add 1 tbsp of vanilla extract

Keep stirring the sugar so it doesn't burn and until it melts

Be sure all granulas are meltef

Add Carmelized sugar to dish

While the sugar is hot quickly coat the sides of the dish with the sugar before it hardens

Put the dish in a roast pan

Boil water

Add the custard mixture to the bowl over the sugar

Cover with foil

Add the boiling water ( about an inch or two of water) to the roast pan and put into the heated oven

Check on flan after about 45 minutes- of the custard is shakey then it isn't done

After 1 hour chech the flan custard with a knife- it should be clean when it comes out- don't overbake because the flan will taste rubbery later

Let the flan cool for 20-30 minutes and then put in fridge

Turn upside down on a serving platter and

Enjoy!!!
