Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
15 medium eggs
3
cans evaporated milk plus sugar to taste
lime
zest (grated dayap peel)
•In a 12 x 8 pyrex, caramelize cane sugar (enough to cover bottom
of pyrex) until golden brown,
spread evenly and set aside to cool pre-heat oven to 350 degrees for
15 minutes.
In a
mixing bowl beat 15 medium eggs (Yolks only, but if a coarser consistency
is favored one or two of the beaten egg whites may be added.) Add
3 cans of
evaporated milk and sugar (suit to taste). Mix until all sugar has
dissolved.
I tend to add more sugar if I plan to serve it chilled.
However, please take into consideration the caramel, it will add on
to the sweetness of the flan.
Add to mixture grated dayap (lime) peel. Pour mix onto pyrex over
caramel.
Bake
for one hour or until toothpick comes outclean.
To avoid burning of caramel place the pyrex into a bigger pyrex or
aluminum pan with water enough to reach the height of the pyrex
being used for baking the flan. Of course steaming it will be the
best way to do it.
