Where to find ingredients
All ingredients such as condensed milk, eggs, milk, and sugar are staples available at any local grocery store or supermarket in the baking or dairy aisles.
Preparation method
- Crack the eggs individually into a small bowl and transfer to a larger container
- Whisk the eggs gently with a wire whisk to mix yolks and whites
- Add the condensed milk and incorporate well into the egg mixture
- Pour the milk gradually, stirring gently to avoid forming air bubbles
- Set the pudding batter aside
- In a saucepan, melt the sugar over low heat until it reaches a golden hue, stirring with a spatula
- Carefully add 1/4 cup of boiling water to the caramel, watching out for splatters
- Stir until the caramel is smooth
- Pour the caramel into an 18 cm ring mould, rotating the tin with a cloth to coat the bottom and sides
- Sieve the pudding batter directly into the caramel-lined mould
- Cover the mould tightly 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 mould with the pudding 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 that the surface of the pudding is firm; remove the mould carefully
- Remove the aluminium foil and allow the pudding to cool at room temperature
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before unmoulding
- To unmould, warm the bottom of the mould slightly over the stove
- Run a knife around the sides to loosen the pudding, cover with a deep plate and invert in one motion
Observations
Preparing flan in an electric pressure cooker speeds up the cooking time, allowing the dessert to be ready quickly. The secret to a smooth flan is to mix the ingredients without incorporating air and letting the batter rest before cooking.
