Servings: 6
Heat the 10 tablespoons of sugar and the water in a
small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar
has turned a golden color, removing it immediately so
it doesn't burn. Pour evenly into 6 ovenproof custard
cups.
Nothing compares to the
smooth and delicate flavor of
homemade flan. We added a
touch of lemon to round out
the rich flavor of the carmel
custard.
