a plan for flan

California Flan
3/4 cup sugar
4 eggs
14 oz sweetened condensed milk
1 cup water
2 teaspoons vanilla
Place the sugar in a skillet and cook, stirring over moderate heat until melted and golden brown. Pour into a 1 quart casserole and swirl to coat the sides and bottom evenly with caramel. Beat the eggs. Add the milk and beat until blended. Beat in the water and vanilla. Turn into the prepared baking dish and place into a pan containing 1 inch of hot water. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely, then turn out onto a serving plate. serves 6 to 8.
This is an excellent recipe, simple to prepare, inexpensive, and lighter than many deserts. I highly reccomend it.
