This recipe is PERFECT - smooth, creamy, and very straightforward! Instead of the various toppings, I made caramelized sugar, put it in the bottom of a 9" souffle dish, and baked the flan for 40 minutes. It was beautiful. This girl only needs three men in her life: Dad, Husband, and Alton Brown!




ooooo so good!

This is a very easy to prepare treat. We used applebutter in ours, it made a nice and tastey change from regular flan




Just what one would expect from Alton

I've eyed this recipe for years, finally made it and it did not disappoint! Used hot fudge and caramel... good eats for sure :)

I was always a bit intimidated by the though of making flan. This made it accessable to me. Now, I'm in trouble cause everyone likes it.




Flantastic!

My Mom asked me to try to make custard like her grandmother made it and she hasn't had anything like it since... until now.

This is a super recipe...my husband who has trained as a professional chef could not get enough of the extra smooth texture and when I made it for my step dad's birthday (who happens to be Puerto Rican) he said it was better than his mom's! Definately an easy yet on target recipe with many chances for personalization




I never knew custard was so simple

Who knew that custard was so simple to make and so delicious to eat? This is a great basic recipe that we've now experimented heavily with and created some great eats.
