Makin´ Flan

Susana my awesome host mummy taught me how to make flan :D
It´s a French dish :D

It's good to first caramalise sugar on the stove





After this, hold the bowl at an angle so the liquid caramel covers much of the bowl. Then wet the back of the bowl with running cold water (but do not get water in the bowl or wetting the caramel). This is to cool the caramel and should cause it to crack and make noises.


Then separate the whites of the eggs from the gold and whip the whites. Use about 8



















After this add the sugar (holy hell it´s alot, about 2 teaspoons per egg), egg yellows, vanilla essence and about a litre of milk.
