    A small slice of this impressively rich, creamy flan dessert goes a long way.

    Ingredients

    • 1/2 cup sugar
    • 3 eggs, slightly beaten
    • 1/3 cup sugar
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla
    • 1/8 teaspoon salt
    • 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk (1 2/3 cups)

    Preparation

    1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Heat 1/2 cup sugar in heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted and golden brown. Divide sugar syrup among four custard cups. Allow syrup to harden about 5 minutes.
    2. Mix remaining ingredients; pour into custard cups. Place cups in square pan on oven rack. Pour very hot water into pan to within 1/2 inch of tops of cups.
    3. Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted halfway between center and edge comes out clean. Immediately remove from water. Unmold and serve warm.
