Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups milk
• 5 tablespoons sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 dash vanilla
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon water

Recipe

• 1 put milk on low heat and then add sugar. stir well and when the sugar melts, stop the heat and cool for a minute. make sure you don't let the milk boil.
• 2 break the eggs in a bowl and stir well.
• 3 slowly pour the milk from step 1 into the bowl from step 2. add some vanilla.
• 4 pour the mix from step 3 through a strainer. this makes the flan smoother.
• 5 make the caramel sauce in a pot and stir quickly over high heat. when it becomes brown remove from heat and divide it evenly into the four cups.
• 6 pour mix from step 4 into the cups over the caramel sauce.
• 7 fill a pot with water an put a steamer above it. when the water starts steaming stop the heat and put the cups in the steamer. don't burn yourself! after 2-3 minutes on high heat lowere the hat and steam for another 13-15 minutes. when you put it on low heat move the lid a bit so some of the steam will escape. the point is to maintain it on low heat. and put a towel under the lid so your flan doesn't get wet!
• 8 poke a hole in the flan with a tooth pick if juice doesn't come out it's done!
• 9 top it whipped or fruit or both for the teacup people and for the plastic cup people tilt it upside down and slide it on a plate brown side up. trust me it'll be good!
