Delicious Leche Flan Recipe

Ingredients:

1 1/4 Cup Sugar
8 egg Yolks
2 1/2 Cup evaporated milk 
1 Cup sweetened condensed milk (Add one more cup if you want it more sweet)
1/4 Tsp. finely grated lemon rind
1 Tsp. vanilla extract


Baking Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Melt 1/2 cup of the sugar in an 8 inch round baking (or rectangular pan) pan over low heat. Tip pan back and forth to distribute caramelized sugar evenly and avoid burning.
Beat egg yolks until well blended or creamy texture. Add remaining sugar gradually, stirring to mix thoroughly. Pour milk slowly into egg yolk mixture stirring constantly. Add grated lemon rind and vanilla extract. Mix well. 

Pour mixture in caramel-lined pan. Place it in a larger, baking pan and set it in the middle shelf of the oven. Pour enough hot water in the larger pan to come halfway up the sides of the egg yolk mixture pan. Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until knife inserted in the center comes out clean or lightly golden brown color.

Let the Leche Flan cool down to room temperature. Once cooled, you can Chill the Flan in the fridge for several hours before serving. To remove the Flan from the pan, you can run a knife around the sides and quickly turn the pan over into a serving plate. Pour the caramel sauce over it and serve.
