As the time passes by, my cravings for Leche Flan has made me become more resourceful and perfectionist about it. I made sure that the one I tasted back when I was a child is the same texture and taste that I would have when I cook.
My previous post about Creamy Leche Flan is the usual one I use whenever I'm craving for Leche Flan. But that one may not be perfect, as per my own preference. :)
Below is the upgraded version of the Leche Flan that I want to serve. And guess what, I'm using this recipe to sell and earn. :P
Perfectly Creamy Leche Flan
Ingredients:
- 8 egg yolks
- 1 big condensed mil
- 1 small evaporated milk
- 9 tbsp sugar
Procedure:
Doing the Caramel:
- prepare 3 llaneras and add 3 tbsp of sugar into each
- on very low fire, patiently heat the Llanera with sugar until caramel comes out
- set aside
Preparing the Flan:
- combine egg yolks, condensed milk, and evaporated milk in a mixing bowl
- mix well
- scoop about 1 cup of the mixture and using a strainer, pour into a Llanera
- repeat the previous step until all the mixture has been poured into all the prepared Llaneras
- cover the Llanera with foil, sealed with rubber band
- steam for 25 minutes
- cool down and serve!
Tips:
- lightly beat the egg yolks before adding the milk
- strainer makes the Leche Flan smoother
- 3 tbsp of sugar makes enough sweetness for those who don't love sweets too much
- rubber band prevents steam to come inside the Llanera (water would lessen the smoothness of the Leche Flan)
- brand really matters - when I cook, I use Alaska Condensed and Evaporated Milks - trust them, they're so creamy :P
