1 1/4 c Granulated sugar
1 1/2 c Milk
1 c Heavy or whipping cream
1 tb Vanilla extract
3 Eggs
3 Egg yolks
3 tb Orange juice

PREHEAT OVEN TO 350F. Warm a 1-quart souffle dish by placing it in oven 5
to 6 minutes. Meanwhile, heat 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a saucepan over
high heat until it begins to melt. Cook, stirring constantly with a wooden
spoon, until sugar liquefies. Reduce heat and cook, stirring constantly,
until deep golden. Remove from heat. Pour caramel into warmed souffle dish,
turning dish to coat bottom and sides. Invert dish onto lightly buttered
aluminum foil. Cool. Heat the milk, cream and vanilla until hot; do not
boil. Remove from heat. Beat the eggs and the egg yolks in a large bowl
until light colored. Whisk in the remaining 3/4 cup sugar and beat until
light and lemon-colored. Stir in the orange juice. Slowly whisk in warm
milk mixture. Pour custard into prepared dish. Place dish in a roasting pan
and pour boiling water into pan to come halfway up the sides of dish. Bake
until a knife inserted in center comes out fairly clean, about 1 hour. Do
not let water boil. Cool on a wire rack; refrigerate, covered, overnight.
To unmold flan: Heat 1-inch water in a large skillet to boiling; turn off
heat. Dip a knife in water and run around edge of flan. Dip bottom of
souffle dish into water for a few seconds. Place a serving dish over top
and invert onto dish. To double recipe, make it twice. For individual
custard cups, increase sugar for caramel to 1 cup.

2 c. milk
4 eggs
1-2 drops of vanilla
1 c. sugar

Prepare a caramel with sightly more than half of the sugar in a double
boiler. Once brown, add 2 soup spoons of water while mixing. Lightly
coat the bottoms o th custard cups with the mixture.

Beat the eggs. Bring the milk to boil. Add the sugar and vanilla and mix
well, and then add the eggs. Pour into the custard cups and place in a
shallow baking dish. Pour hot water around the custard cups, halfway up
the side of the custard dishes. Bake for 45 minutes at 275 degrees

1/2 c Sugar
1 cn Sweetened condensed milk;
1 c Milk
3 Eggs
3 Egg yolk
1/2 ts Almond extract
1 ts Vanilla extract

In a small saucepan melt sugar over moderate heat, stirring frequently,
until sugar is a dark, caramel-colored liquid. Remove from heat and pour
into a 4 cup metal ring mold or 8 individual molds. Quickly turn mold to
coat bottom and sides with the caramel. Let cool so caramel hardens. Heat
oven to 325. Put the condensed milk, milk, eggs, egg yolks and flavorings
into an electric blender. Cover and blend to mix well. Pour mixture into
mold; put mold in a larger pan filled with water to depth of 1/2 inch.=
Bake
for 1 hour. Remove from oven and remove mold from water. Cool and then
refrigerate up to 2 days. Cover mold with an inverted serving platter.=
Hold
mold and platter together and turn them over. Lift off mold. Caramel will
fall as a liquid sauce over the custard.

Caramelized sugar syrup:
2/3 Cup sugar
1/3 Cup boiling water
Flan:
2 Cups milk
2 Cups heavy cream
2/3 Cup sugar
2 Strips orange zest
about 2" long and 1/2" wide
6 egg yolks
4 Large eggs
1 1/2 Teaspoons vanilla

For the caramelized sugar syrup: In a medium-size heavy skillet (not iron)
set over moderately low heat, place the sugar and allow to melt and
caramelize to a rich golden brown (this will take about 40 minutes). Do not
stir the sugar as it melts but occasionally shake the skillet. Add the
boiling water, teaspoon by teaspoon at first, stirring briskly to dissolve
the caramelized sugar. Simmer uncovered 8 to 10 minutes until the
consistency of maple syrup. Pour into a chilled, well-buttered, shallow 2
quart mold.

For the flan: Preheat the oven to moderately slow (325 degrees). In a large
heavy saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream and sugar; drop in the orange
zest and bring to a simmer over moderately low heat, stirring from time to
time. Beat the egg yolks and eggs until frothy; blend 1 cup of the hot
cream mixture into the eggs, stir back into the pan, and heat, stirring
constantly, 1 minute. Remove from the heat and mix in the vanilla. Strain
all through a fine sieve, then pour into the prepared mold. Set the mold in
a shallow baking pan and pour in enough hot water to come halfway up the
mold. Bake uncovered 1 1/2 hours or until a toothpick inserted near the
center of the flan comes out clean. Remove from the oven and the water
bath; cool 1 hour, then refrigerate 4 to 5 hours until firm. To invert the
flan, dip the mold quickly in hot water, then turn out on a dessert plate
with a turned-up rim; the caramel syrup will come cascading down over the
flan. Cut into slim wedges and serve.

Yield: 8 to 10 servings

8 Eggs
2/3 c Sugar
1/4 ts Salt
26 oz Evaporated milk, undiluted
2 ts Vanilla

Traditionally this is made with a layer of caramelized
sugar on the bottom of the pan: heat white sugar in a
heavy pan until it melts and turns light brown, then
quickly and carefully pour it into the baking pan and
tilt the pan so it runs all over the bottom.

Beat eggs, mix in sugar and salt, then milk and
vanilla. Pour into a glass baking dish and set the
dish in a pan of hot water in the oven at 350 degrees.
Bake uncovered for 1 hour or until solid. I think it
comes out better if you don't stir it while it's
cooking.

14 oz can condensed milk
"You're a bad cuban. No flan for you."
:D

12 oz can evaporated milk
4 eggs
pinch salt (optional)
1 tsp. vanilla extract



Preparation:

Using a double broiler, cover top part with caramel, mix ingredients in blender and put into top portion and cover with lid. Pour water into the bottom part of double broiler. Cook at low heat for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry. When ready, let cool to room temperature, then place in refrigerator for 1 hour or more. Turn upside down over a sink to avoid dripping before serving. If you don't have a double broiler, place flan mold in a large Pyrex® dish and fill half-way with l water and cook in oven for about 1 hour at 350 degrees.

Caramel for flan . . . .

½ cup sugar
2 tbs (water)

In a medium sause pan, mix sugar and water and stir a couple of times. Now heat this over medium heat, without stirring - you can swish it around, until the syrup melts and turns golden. Large bubbles will begin to form just before it's ready. So, remove from heat immediately once it bubbles for a minute or so.

Coat the "flan-pan" with the syrup by pouring and slowly turning the pan letting the syrup cover the bottom and sides. Let it sit for about 10 minutes or so until the caramel hardens. Now your pan will be ready for the flan.

1 c Biscuit mix
3 tb Butter
1/4 c Light cream
FILLING:
1 Onion, large, sliced or
-chopped
2 tb Butter
2 Eggs, beaten
2 c Natural Gruyere cheese (1/2
-lb), shredded
1/4 ts Salt

PASTRY:

A Swiss cheese pie is called "flan." The pastry for
this pie is sometimes closer to a rich biscuit dough,
but in other versions a short pastry may be used. The
word "flan" means different things in different
countries; In Spain it is plain cramel custard, in
France a fruit tart in pastry, in Switzerland a cheese
custard in pastry. And sometimes Swiss Flan is made
with onions and cheese in custard!

TO MAKE THE PASTRY, chop butter into the biscuit mix,
work in cream, and roll out on lightly floured board;
or press into a 9 inch pie plate, fluting the edges.
Chill while preparing filling.

FOR THE FILLING, cook onion in butter until golden;
cool slightly. Add eggs, cheese, and salt. Pour this
mixture into pastry, and bake in oven preheated to 425
degrees F. (very hot) for 15 minutes; then reduce heat
to 350 degrees F. (moderate) and continue baking 25 to
30 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center
comes out clean. Serve warm as a luncheon entree to 4
to 6 persons, or cut into small wedges for appetizers.
Makes 10 to 12 appetizers.

VARIATIONS: Instead of this pastry, regular pie crust
may be used. Or make pastry of 1 cup flour, 1 teaspoon
baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/3 cup butter, and
1 beaten egg. Do not attempt to roll out this
butter-rich pastry; press it with your fingers into
pie pan, fluting the edges.

1 1/2 c. heavy cream
1 1/2 c. milk
3/4 c. sugar
6 egg yolks
2 tsp. port
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a saucepan warm the cream and milk over high heat until small bubbles appear around the edge of the pan. Set aside off the heat. In a small saucepan, or skillet caramelize the sugar by stirring it over moderate heat, until it melts and turns a light golden brown. Immediately pour the hot cream and milk in a thin stream into the caramel, stirring constantly with a large spoon. Continue to stir until the caramel has thoroughly dissolved. With a whisk, or an electric beater, beat the egg yolks until they are well blended. Then slowly pour in the cream mixture, stirring constantly with a spoon. Stir in the port and strain the mixture through a fine sieve into 1 (4 oz.) heat proof porcelain or glass individual molds or custard cups. Set the molds in a large roasting pan on the middle shelf of the oven and pour in enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the molds. Bake for 40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center of the custard comes out clean. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until thoroughly chilled. To unmold the custard, run a sharp knife around the inside edge of each mold and dip the bottom briefly in hot water. Then wipe the mold dry, place a chilled serving plate upside down over each mold and, grasping mold and plate firmly together, quickly invert them. Rap the plate on a table and the custard should slide out easily. In Portugal, the custard is sometimes garnished with a flower blossom
