- 1 can (equals approximately 14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extracts
Cooking Instructions:
- To start cooking according this La Lechera flan recipe, preheat your own to 350 degree Fahrenheit or 177 degrees Celsius for at least 10-15 minutes.
- Prepare a heavy-bottomed sauce pan. Heat it over medium-low heat. Add in sugar and let it melt to caramel while stirring it constantly. The time it takes for the sugar to turn into caramel is around 6-8 minutes.
- Once the sugar is completely melted and turned into golden brown caramel, pour it to a round pan for cake (around 9 inch diameter). Set it aside.

- Bake the flan inside the preheated oven for 50 minutes. Once 50 minutes has passed, stick a fork to the center of the flan and if it comes out clean, the flan is fully cooked.
- Remove the flan pan from the water bath and then transfer to wire rack to cool down.
- When the flan is completely cooled down, transfer it to the fridge and let it set overnight.
- To serve the flan, use small knife and run the knife around the edge. Then, shake the pan until the flan comes out of the pan.
