Flan is Gross...

Spanish Flan is an oven-baked caramel custard dessert that is very popular here. It is made with a top layer of custard paired with a light caramel sauce, which is put in the bottom of the pan underneath it. Both are baked together. When chilled and then inverted to un-mold, the sauce pours over the custard and is served as is. The typical flavoring is simply vanilla, but there are numerous variations that include almonds, pistachio, orange, coffee, lemon, and various other fruits.


It seems it can also be bought pre-made in the grocery store (like pudding packs) as well as an "instant" jello-like packet version. Just add water!


FLAN IS GROSS-- Senora made it because Amy likes it and then tried to force feed it to Gina any I. We politely declined a helping the second night.
