MEXICAN-STYLE FLAN 3/4 c. sugar 4 eggs 1 c. water 1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk 2 tsp. vanilla Place sugar in a small skillet. Heat slowly until sugar melts and turns golden brown. (Watch carefully, it will caramelize quickly.) Pour mixture into a warm 1 quart baking dish. Tip and turn quickly to coat the bottom and side thinly. Let stand while preparing custard. Preheat oven to slow 325 degrees. Beat eggs in a large bowl until foamy; stir in condensed milk and beat until well blended; stir in water and vanilla. Pour into caramel-coated dish. Put baking dish in a large baking pan on oven shelf; pour boiling water into pan to depth of 1-inch. Bake in preheated slow 325 degrees oven for 1 hour or until center is almost set, but still soft. (Do not overbake; flan will set as it cools.) Remove at once from pan of water; cool on wire rack. Chill. When ready to serve, loosen the flan around edge with a knife. Cover the flan with a serving plate; invert both. Remove baking dish.
