Yo if you want to make flan, I have a good recipe: 1. Brown white sugar until it’s a brown liquid Then add it to the bottom of your flan cups 2. Add these ingredients into a bowl pinch of salt lemon juice 5 teaspoons of vanilla extract sweet and condensed milks a cup of sugar and 3/4 of water 4 eggs(3 yolks and one whole egg) 1.25 cups of milk This will be your cream, add it into the flan cup and cook in a hot water bath. Let it cool and flip. Then enjoy. (I like it warm but it’s supposed to be cooled in the fridge)

[@butasimpleidiotwizard]

That's a recipe for flan, purin doesn't have condensed milk or lemon in it (especially not lemon, what are you trying to do to the poor purin lmao)

[@butasimpleidiotwizard]

Like good for you having a flan recipe but the video is about purin. It's not a flan and flan does not taste the same because you put things like condensed milk and lemon into it.

​​@@CaspGhosts mine don't? If after taking off the lid you put the plate/bowl upside down on top, then you hold the pot and the plate/bowl together and flip it right way round quickly, and then you pull the foil tab, it should come out fine :) Sometimes though I just eat it in the pot since it's easier and less dishes :)

Aw man, wish we had them in Singapore

[@gyuchew_]

yes, these certain ones you’re having are made in japan, but these are called flan. their european 😭😭

[@butasimpleidiotwizard]

Not flan, flan is tangy because different ingredients are added that are not in purin. Closer to creme caramel, it's a classic "western style" sweet but as with all Japanese "western style" sweets the recipe is adjusted to the Japanese palette, it's a very subtle, light flavour, unlike the richness and stronger flavour most westerners prefer.

[@qwmx]

Plenty of non-japanese companies do that (e.g. Wicked Sister). In Australia they're sold under "creme caramel" and the reason why it works like that is because the "top" is actually the caramelised "bottom" and would often have a syrup at the bottom because the intention is that you flip it upside down and the syrup coats the dessert. In other words, the pudding is often sold upside down.

[@Infinite_reels7310]

I would buy a bunch of these just to pull the tab😂😂

[@Jinro_0]

On mona puddings here in the netherlands you just remove a little tap and the pudding is removed its very easy and much more pudding then that japanese puddings

I used to love to eat those. I would get them at 7-11, along with a chicken katsu or Yakima soba sandwich.

Purin and pudding are different I was always confused when I got a dessert sludge instead of purin when my dad said he bought pudding

[@mist8814]

It's actually called creme caramel or flan, and it is a pudding

[@butasimpleidiotwizard]

​@mist8814 can you get out of here wirh the condescending attitude please because it is in fact actually called purin aka pudding, because that is just the Japanese word for this fucking dessert (and the Japanese version tastes slightly different the same way creme caramel and flan taste slightly different because of regional differences in the recipe that tend to go hand in hand with regional differences in the name) flan is the Spanish and American name for it, the French and English word is creme caramel, the Japanese word is purin.

Funny story about the tab, initially the tab was supposed to be at the center of the hole, but when the manufacturers tried it, it bugde at all. Then they tried the defective ones since they might as well, and the tab opened easily since the tab provided leverage for the cover to open. Since then the defective ones were used in manufacturing pudding containers. I got it from an interview from NHK decades ago, so I don't know if it's on yt.

Someone said we have these in France.
