Careful!!! To make this you will need parental supervision 🔥🔥🔥

Procedure!
Separate your 6 eggs in two bowls: one for yolks and one for whites.
Then, for a creamy flan…Beat your eggs until you see this…
If you don’t want a super creamy cake move the bowl a little and if the eggs are still sliding it is ready to add in the yolks.
Now it is time to add your leches: first the evaporated milk, then the condensed milk.
Divide what you put in, in two parts don’t put it all at once.
Finally, put it in the oven at 350-400 degrees and cook until fully done (you know this when your toothpick comes out clean).

The Quarantine 15 (lbs) are getting to me, but this recipe looks amazing. I wish the reading came with a free taste test. LOL
Future Chef. Go Xochitl!
Wow! Daring cooking! That video clip was a nice highlight on an already delightful post. Yes, because we got to see Ximena–hi! Also, because I recently watched a shot video about the chemical properties of sugar and how effective it is in baking aside from simply sweetening dishes. It’s why your egg whites were so successfully stiff–the sugar provided structure for the proteins in the egg-whites to attach to. There is so much science here–look it up!
Xochitl, does the type of container matter when you put it in the oven? Also, covered or uncovered?
This sounds delicious. I love flan but I’ve never made it before, so now I have no excuse not to try. The video with Ximena cracked me up!
I like the explanations you put on the post and you make them clear, I’ll make one with my Family later.
