Mango Flan
Saturday, July 11th, 2009
Flan is commonly used as a term to describe the Spanish or Mexican version of Crème Caramel. Traditionally, however, Flan is both richer and denser than crème caramel, as it contains more eggs and yolks as well as light whipping cream, half and half, and/or sweetened condensed milk. Historically, flan was baked on top of a stove in a water bath. Now, the flan is cooked in a water bath inside the oven where it is bake slowly.
