Despite all the negative comments about how their recipes are better or how eggy it looks or taste like or how much talking you put in the video. Sorry guys, your versions are not only versions out there and are not best for everyone. So, last night, I followed the instructions exactly how Thomas showed in the video, and it came out so perfect, and this is my first time making it. Today, I take it to work to share with my colleagues, and the whole batch is gone in an hour. Everyone said it’s light and delicious. Thank you so much! Keep up your good work and ignore those people who never appreciate or realize there are much more than what they know in their own small world.

OMG! SO GOOD, authentic Spanish Flan! Just eggs & milk, no fillers or tricks like condensed milk! Worked perfectly - I've never made flan before. But my success shows it's fool-proof! Make this - so special! Perfect instructions & science know-how. Suggest writing it out first.

I finally made the caramel and it’s the best way. I’ve been making flan for 20 years now but was always hit and miss with the Caramel. But now, I’ve never had to throw it away after watching this video. The caramel I make now is perfect. I love Thomas Joseph’s videos the best. He explains so well how to do it the right way and the reasons why you make a mistake. 👍🏻 he has the best recipe videos.

What a beautiful flan! Some tips for whoever is going to make this: 1- You can use a baking pan with a hole in the middle so it bakes faster; 2- You can heat the milk in the same pan that you made your caramel, that way the remaining caramel will melt into the milk giving it a bit extra flavor, plus it helps cleaning the pan; 3- You can use equal parts of milk and sweetened condensed milk instead of sugar, just mix all together with no need to heat the milk.

I followed the recipe and steps in doing it and it turned out exactly as what shows in the video (I reduced the quantity of ingredients to 3/5 and used a smaller pan). I've learned so much from Thomas' detail explanation. I will not use other recipes in making flan in the future.

@hcccss12 4 жыл бұрын

Faisal AL Haratani I’m Brazilian and I make this all the time. Here is my recipe for the custard base: 1 can of condensed milk, 2 cans of whole milk (using the same can of condensed milk to measure), 2 whole eggs, and 3 egg yolks. I also splash a tiny (and I mean tiny bc it will change the flavor) amount of vanilla extract in there and mix. Pour the mixture in a pan coated with the caramel sauce (I use one cup water and one cup sugar to make mine. And I know it’s ready once the sauce turns into an amber color). When pouring, I recommend you pour gently on top of a spoon that way the mixture layers on top of the caramel sauce instead of mixing together. I also suggest you use one of those Bundt pans that have a hole in the middle because it will cook faster. Place the pan in a water bath (like the video) and place in an oven at 350 degrees. If you don’t have a roasting pan like the one in the video, I use a large pot and place my Bundt pan on top. Works every time. Usually takes about an hour and a half to cook, but I know mine is ready whenever u stick a knife in and it comes out clean ☺️. I allow the flan to cool outside of the oven before flipping or placing in a fridge. Best served cold so if you do it in the morning you should be good to go at night 😁.
