You need:
- 8 egg yolks
- 1 can evaporated milk (370 ml)
- sugar (up to how sweet you want it)
- vanilla
- sugar to be caramelized
- 2 oval metal containers (llanera)
Cook this way:
- Place sugar in an oval container. Caramelize sugar on stove. Make sure that all the bottom of the container is covered with the liquid sugar. Don't let the sugar burn or else your leche flan will taste bitter. Do this with the other container. Set aside.
- Beat the egg yolks. Don't over-beat the eggs or this could cause bubbles in your flan.
- Add the milk, sugar and vanilla. Continue stirring.
- Pour the liquid in the containers and cover with aluminum foil.
- Steam for 30-45 minutes.
- Let it cool and serve!

Tip: add 1 egg white so that your flan would have some consistency and not be too soft.
Also, you don't add condensed milk? I use condesend milk instead of sugar to sweeten the flan because (1) with sugar you need to mix it well enough to incorporate it (and that may cause annoying bubbles!) and (2) condensed milk tastes better!
i just followed some recipe :D will try yours out next time. yeah, it caused annoying bubbles >:-| will definitely improve this recipe!
Wow Jo! This is such a great blog! When I was still in Manila, I used to eat out a lot too. Your blog reminds me a lot about the great food back home and definitely gives me a reason to make a quick visit in the near future (hopefully).
@jigs was planning to write this blog a long time ago! it was just now that I had the discipline to push through. Hope to see you when you visit! There are a lot of good restaurants that I really want to try out.
