Spread the love

Ingredients for 6 servings:

  • 300 g sugar
  • 4 eggs, including the yolk
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 vanilla pod(s)
  • ½ liter of milk
  • some butter, for greasing the molds

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest time approx. 8 hours; Total time approx. 8 hours 30 minutes

(Recipe from a friend from Cesena)

Melt half of the sugar over medium heat and brown. Cover the bottom of flan dishes, straight cups, or a loaf pan with the caramel. Whisk the egg yolks, eggs, remaining sugar, vanilla seeds, and milk and pour into the greased dishes. Seal with aluminum foil. Let it set in a water bath at 180 degrees Celsius for 45-60 minutes. The oven has the advantage of keeping the temperature constant, as the water must not boil. Alternatively, you can also cook it in a large pot or roasting pan on the stovetop. Chill the dishes for a few hours. Turn the cream out onto small plates or, if using a loaf pan, onto a platter.
