Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven at 400F.

- Start by making a caramel with the sugar and the water on a medium heat. Do not stir it (only to help dissolve the sugar and then stop. Once it is done (golden), off heat, spread it on the side of your pot by making circular movements.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs. Add the condensed and evaporated milk. Stir well.

Notes
Is Flan like crème brûlée?
Although it is from the same family, this Cuban custard is different. Crème brûlée only uses egg yolk. Also, crème brûlée has that hard caramelized top that is made by torching.
How do I know if the flan is cooked?
Just put a knife through the middle of the flan and if the knife comes out clean, it is cooked!
