I have a big sweet tooth that most of the times I skip main course and eat only the salads and desserts and if the saying "you are what you eat" is true then I must be very sweet! Haha 😛
Anyway, here I am sharing one of those light, filling and pleasant desserts that have been there since ages! These old style desserts don't have any fancy ingredients buy still rock till the date. I am sure most of you are already a fan of this superb sweet dish - Crème Caramel! I know it's not like many of our mix, whip and serve kind of fancy desserts but it's not that difficult either. When I tried it for the first time I ended up with a burnt mess of sugar which was not ready to leave the bottom of sauce pan lol so I had to prepare caramel once again and it was all so messy but like everything else I mastered the art of making a perfect flan with time. Alhamdulillah!
Easy No Fail Flan Recipe
Ingredients:
4 eggs
2 cups full cream milk
1/2 cup thick cream
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
A pinch of cardamom powder
A pinch saffron soaked in 1 tablespoon of hot milk
1 cup sugar for making caramel
Directions:
1. Beat eggs in a bowl and add cream, half cup sugar, salt, cardamom powder and saffron. Beat well and slowly pour in the milk and whisk well.
2. Take 1 cup sugar in a heavy bottomed sauce pan and place on very low flame till the sugar is liquefied and turns golden brown in colour. DO NOT stir the sugar while it's melting.
3. Take a glass baking dish and pour caramelised sugar. Rotate the dish so that covers the bottom and sides of the baking dish. Now gently pour in the egg mixture without disturbing the caramel.
4. Take some water in a baking tray and place the prepared flan dish and bake in the preheated oven till it becomes firm. Insert a skewer to check if it's done. Once done remove from the oven and let cool completely.
5. When the pudding cooled down completely invert it on a serve plate and and place in the fridge till its time to serve. You can serve fresh fruit on the top of caramel custard.
