For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of rum extract to the flan mixture. Ensure the caramel is a dark amber color before pouring it into the baking dish, as this will give the flan its signature rich flavor. Be careful not to burn it. The water bath is crucial for gentle and even cooking, preventing the flan from curdling or cracking. Allowing the flan to chill completely is essential for achieving the perfect creamy texture and flavor.
