Recipe - Flan

3 Eggs
1 cup Sugar
2 One half cup Evaporated milk
One half tablespoon Vanilla
1/8 teaspoon Salt

Make a caramel with Three fourths cup sugar by heating it over low heat in a small
skillet until the sugar melts and becomes golden brown. As soon as it is
caramel colored, pour quickly into 6 individual ramekins, tilting them to
coat all the inside evenly. As the caramel hardens, turn the molds upside
down over a plate to catch the remaining dribbles.

In a bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the milk, the remaining One fourth cup
sugar, vanilla, and salt. Pour gently into the coated ramekins. Set the
ramekins in a baking pan in the oven; pour hot water into the baking pan to
a depth of about one inch, but well below the lip of the ramekins. Bake
uncovered at 325 F for 55 to 60 minutes or until a knife comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and chill thoroughly before serving. Unmold carefully
and invert onto serving plates.
