Ingredients

• granulated sugar - 1 cup
• water - ¼ cup
• sweetened condensed milk - 1 can (14 ounces)
• whole milk - 2 cups
• large eggs - 4
• vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• salt - ¼ teaspoon

Instructions

1. 1.

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. 2.

   In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup water. Cook until the sugar dissolves and turns a deep amber color.

3. 3.

   Carefully pour the caramel into a 9-inch round baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool.

4. 4.

   In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and well combined.

5. 5.

   Pour the custard mixture over the cooled caramel in the baking dish.

6. 6.

   Place the baking dish in a larger roasting pan and pour hot water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the baking dish.

7. 7.

   Carefully transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

8. 8.

   Remove the flan from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

9. 9.

   To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan, place a serving plate on top, and invert the flan onto the plate to release the caramel.
