Where to find ingredients
You can find sweetened condensed milk, sugar, eggs, and milk in the baking or dairy aisles of any local grocery store or supermarket.
Preparation method
- Break the eggs individually into a small bowl and transfer them to a larger container
- Beat the eggs gently with a wire whisk to mix the yolks and whites
- Add the condensed milk and incorporate it well into the egg mixture
- Pour in the milk gradually, stirring delicately to avoid forming air bubbles
- Set the flan mixture aside
- In a saucepan, melt the sugar over low heat until you get a golden tone, stirring with a spatula
- Carefully add 1/4 cup of boiling water to the caramel syrup, being mindful of the splashes
- Stir until the syrup becomes smooth
- Pour the caramel into an 18 cm ring mould, rotating the mould with a cloth to cover the bottom and sides
- Strain the flan mixture directly over the caramelised mould
- Cover the mould by sealing it well with aluminium foil, folding the edges to secure it
- Line the bottom of the pressure cooker with a folded kitchen towel
- Add 3 cups of water to the pressure cooker for the water bath and place the flan mould inside
- Close the pressure cooker and cook over low heat for 10 minutes after it reaches pressure
- Release the pressure from the cooker carefully
- Check if the surface of the flan is firm; remove the mould carefully
- Remove the aluminium foil and let the flan cool at room temperature
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before turning it out
- To turn it out, lightly heat the bottom of the mould over the stove
- Run a knife around the sides to loosen the flan, cover with a deep plate and flip it over in one go
Observations
Preparing flan in an electric pressure cooker speeds up cooking time, allowing the dessert to be ready quickly. The secret to a smooth, hole-free flan is to mix the ingredients without incorporating air and letting the batter rest before cooking.
