This flan has been in the making for quite a few months. There came a point when I was slightly doubtful that it would ever make its appearance. And then, when I almost gave up, there it was! Home made and hand delivered. Cold, in a glass ramekin, covered with aluminum foil, it arrived at my door. Dinner plans put the flan consumption on hold, so it was left to hang out in the fridge with a few other containers.
Late morning, hungry stomach, could mean only one thing! It was breakfast time, and it was flan time.
I suppose I could eat the flan right out of the glass container, but why? Here’s a trick to un-mold the flan. Pour hot water into a larger bowl. Take a small knife and run it against the edge of the flan, loosening it up. Then, quickly, lower the flan into hot water – this will slightly melt the caramel layer on the bottom.
Ready to go? Wipe the bottom of the flan bowl (to avoid water on the plate), cover the flan with a serving plate, say a prayer and invert. If you’re lucky, the flan will happily flop out of its dish right onto your plate. The caramel will follow and form a lovely sweet puddle around the flan. Eat time!
"happily flop" hee hee
yes, happily flop. who are you DCS? š
OMG I WANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MMMM the flan looks ok but if you liked, and was delivered at the door, was good but but took to much time to be ready. where did you ordered from?
Very funny. Ha ha funny. I didn't have to order the flan. It was voluntarily made and delivered to me. And it was delicious.
