making the caramel, sugar can be cooked two ways : wet or dry. wet cooking is the easier method, because it gives you greater control over the degree of caramelization., sugar and water are brought to a boil; the water boils away and the changes from pale gold to amber to brown., you can stir the pan to help dissolve the sugar, but stop stirring once the mixture boils., dry cooking usually involves adding an acid , such as lemon juice, to keep the sugar from crystallizing., toss the lemon juice with the sugar until it s the consistency of wet sand., heat the sugar until it melts. don tsp stir , which promotes crystallization--the caramel will seize up and be grainy, not clear--but you may swirl the pan slightly to help redistribute any sugar that s starting to brown., making the custard, some recipes call for sweetened condensed milk while others use cream or whole milk. a flan made with sweetened condensed milk will be slightly denser than 1 made with milk or cream. likewise, flan made with milk rather than cream will be slightly lighter than a cream-based custard. experiment with different ingredients and recipes to find the 1 that suits your tastes., place the milk , solid flavoring--vanilla bean, cinnamon stick, citrus zest--and sugar into a large saucepan. (liqueurs and extracts are added after the mixture cooks)., bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally., while the milk mixture heats , whisk the eggs until pale yellow. don tsp over-mix the eggs: you don tsp want the eggs to become foamy, because the air bubbles affect the texture of the finished product., in a slow stream , pour the hot milk mixture into the bowl of eggs, whisking constantly., pour the custard base through a fine mesh strainer into a clean bowl to ensure a silky smooth texture in your flan., stir in extract or other flavorings., divide the custard equally between your caramel-coated dish or ramekins.
