dont swirl the pan! The sugar crystals on the side will burn!!! D: Also don't let the whisk leave the mixture, or it'll create weird textured hole in the pudding :|
@F3FisGoodforYou When you are making caramel, little particles of sugar start sticking to the sides of your pan. The brush helps you get rid of them. Thank you for watching!
My flan came out beautiful! I wish I had taken a picture. It was so much more easier than I thought. And I melted my sugar perfectly, thanks to you. mwah.
Mmmm delicious! My mother always was the one to make this for me and now I'm going to try and make it for her (and everyone) this Christmas. Thank you for showing and explaining, very well, how to caramelize the sugar properly. I feel more confident about making it now.
that flan looks good. I'm Mexican too and i was happy to see a familiar flan. all the other ones i saw in videos look too solid i like some bubbles on my flan it has more of texture thank you for your video.
@patriciacheesepuffs Thank you for coming by! This is actually very good flan and yes, it does remind me of the flan we used to order in taquerias in California. Have a wonderful day! I am happy you like this!
@chubis101 This recipe will not work with plain milk - unfortunately. You will have to make your flan in a completely different way. You will have to simmer the milk with a vanilla bean and add tempered egg yolks to it. I have no idea what you could replace it with. Sorry :(
the eggs mix does not curdle when i tempur it ( the caramel is perfect ^-^) but after i cooked it. and let it . cool i go to unmold it. but it holds it shape. but when you go to eat it . it is like little tiny curds that fall aparts ...nasty
@DirugazeXD I am sorry to hear that and do not understand why that might be. Are you heating the custard? If so, are you adding the eggs directly into the hot custard? Thank you for coming by!
I have always thought it would be too hard to make a flan!! I make candy and other custards.. but I have never had the courage to try a flan... I think I will look this up over the weekend and make it for my family!! Thank you!!
oh and those who are making caramel for the first time, please be careful! caramel boils at a much higher temperature then water which means if u get the caramel on your skin, it was leave a nasty burn. and it's much more painful than boiling water. so please be extremely careful when working with hot caramel.
ive always made creme caramel .. so many recepies but it wont come right.. theyre either too creamy or too EGGY.. is this one eggy? i really wanna make good one.
u think its good if i put rosewater and pinches of saffron? will it turn out as yummy.. or a tablespoon of vinegar to reduce the eggy smell
@Mikyajful I wouldn't consider this too eggy. If you mix it well - and you can use a blender for this is you like - you should not have any problems with it. Adding rosewater and saffron sounds really interesting. I have never tried that so I can't say if it will work but I guess you won't know if you don't try it. I definitely would stay away from the vinegar. Add more vanilla to it if you would like - maybe one more tsp. I hope this helps!
@pastryparrot1 Ill make it ! ill just gonna change one step from urs.. ill keep it in the fridge till overnight:D so that its stays stifferr and wobbly
@pastryparrot1 hi! do you put water in the sugar when making caramel? i was just trying to make flan earlier but messed up on the caramel so i stopped.
@MissVulnera Making the caramel is tricky! I do not put anything in my sugar. Just pure sugar. I know people that add a splash of water and sometimes butter to their sugar. I have seen how the sugar crystallizes but, with persistence, they seem to succeed. It eventually turns into a nice dark, amber caramel. Pure sugar works best for me. I hope you don't give up! Thanks for coming by!
@miky218 According to the dictionary it is latte evaporato. Evaporated milk, also known as dehydrated milk, is a shelf-stable milk product with about 60% of the water removed from fresh milk. It comes in cans and is very useful for all kinds of desserts. I love pouring a little into my coffee! Thanks for coming by! Buon Natale e Felice Anno Nuovo!
OMG great tip for the caramel I always have a hard time making it because i stir it, thaaaanks!!! ... I do that same for the flan but i like to add cheesee cream it is good too!!! thanks again!
@RinaUsaHime Yes, quiltingconnie said thesame thing about the cream cheese. I will definitely try it out. You are welcome about the caramel! This method is so much easier because you don't have to deal with hard blobs of sugar which take forever to melt! Merry Christmas!
Love flan i add some cream cheese my family like it creamy also i have friends that make a cho. cake and pour the flan first and then the cho. cake mixture and it cook awesome the flan is on top and cake on the bottom not sure why but it dose have a great weekend my friend love connie and Merry X-Mas
@QuiltingConnieB I have seen those cakes with flan on top. They are delicious! I should make a video of that one day. Thank you for the cream cheese tip! That sounds awesome. I'll have to try it out sometime. MErry Christmas to you too my friend! Thanks, as always, for your support!
OH MY GOSH!!! This look soooooooooo good, Mary-Ann!!! I always buy the flan package to prepare it! But now I have a recipe and thanks to you!! YAY!!! I can't wait to try this here at home!! :)
Awsome M ! I make this all the time in individual ramekins for my mum to help beef up her calories & she loves it. Big custard fan ! Have never used evap & condensed milk...just reg milk & some cream. Tip for viewers: Add water to the caramel pan after pouring it into your mold, bring it to a boil & voila...the caramel dissolves & no scrubbing required of the pan..just soap & water cleanup. Happy Holidays !
after the holidays or when can would you do a recipie on making chiffon ? I had it when I was a kid and noone seems to know about it - I thought perhaps you do .
@silentfades Lets do it! Baking at such a high altitude is very challenging. Let me play around with this and see if I can actually get a beautiful chiffon cake going for you. Thanks for coming by! Have a great weekend!
Delish!!!!
