Recipe View 10 mins In a nonstick skillet, melt the sugar over low heat. Do not stir; instead, gently shake the pan by the handle to ensure even melting. Continue until the sugar is completely melted and has transformed into a golden caramel. Carefully pour the caramel into a 3-quart glass baking dish, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. (10 minutes)

Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined, about 2 minutes. Gently pour the egg mixture over the caramel layer in the baking dish. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins To serve, run a thin knife around the edges of the dish to loosen the flan. Place a serving dish over the baking dish and carefully invert the flan onto the serving plate. The caramel will drizzle over the flan. Slice and serve chilled. (5 minutes)

For a richer flavor, toast shredded coconut and sprinkle it on top of the flan before serving.
If the caramel begins to burn, remove it from the heat immediately and add a tablespoon of water to stop the cooking process. Be careful, as it will splatter.
Ensure the water bath is hot when you put the flan in the oven; this helps create a smooth and creamy texture.
Don't overbake the flan; it should still have a slight jiggle in the center when removed from the oven.

    The water bath is key! My first attempt without it was a disaster, but this version was flawless. Thank you for the detailed instructions.
