1-1/2 cups white sugar 14
egg yolks 1 egg pinch of chopped lemon rind 3 cups fresh carabao's
or cow's milk
How to make Baked Leche Flan
Dissolve 1 cup white sugar over moderate heat to caramelize it.
Pour evenly on bottom and sides of molder. Set aside.
Preheat
oven to 375 deg F. In a mixing bowl, combine egg yolks and whole egg.
Add 1/2 cup sugar, lemon rind and milk. Mix thoroughly but gently so as not
to form air bubbles.
Pour into prepared caramel-lined pan. Put
the pan in a large, shallow baking pan containing water. Bake in the oven for
45 minutes.
Note: It is difficult
to work with carabao's milk. Using too muck heat will coagulate it and the result
will be a mealy, gritty flan. Some sellers adulterate it with coconut milk so
be sure it is pure. Cow's milk is an acceptable substitute, but the consistency
of the flan will be less rich.
