The Best Technique for Classic Flan - Kitchen Conundrums with Thomas Joseph - Martha Stewart

[@reardontapia]

I made this recipe with the following changes: I used evaporated milk, and 5 whole eggs only. It came out absolutely perfect. Very light and so smooth and silky it melts in your mouth. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@Xia-vk4el]

What is the importance of sweetened condensed milk

[@nicoledukich]

Flan just reminds me of childhood and any late Mom. Just wonderful!

[@julie99nl]

My mom made fantastic flan, so this also brings back memories.

[@alphafish4756]

I used 8 eggs and it turned out superb! 4 yolks and 4 whole, no need for extra two

[@Facepaintventura]

Wow, it turned out fantastic! So going to try it using your tips next time!

[@stephaniemarieduque6507]

Thank you Thomas for your recipe. Definitely going to try it your way. It looks absolutely perfect.

[@Capellaism]

Flan is my #1 dessert, will definitely be giving this a try

[@rozeion6970]

Did you? How was it?

[@Capellaism]

@@rozeion6970 It was quite delicious I made it about three times already

[@libereemaintenant3873]

I followed the instructions and it came out perfect. It's easier to follow than the French flan that my sister used to do.

[@alphafish4756]

What’s the diff b/w this and the French flan

[@putuimchen3042]

I tried this recipe to a tee and it came out great.. For someone who doesn't like very sweet dessert this was just the right amount of sweetness Great recipe! I would recommend this

[@pearlexi]

Wow that’s a beautiful flan, Thomas! It looks so silky and smooth like tofu. 😄 Thank you for the recipe!

[@chandankumarchappa]

Thomas... I love the way u teach... Love u

[@CookCravings]

Awesome recipe and very easy.love it definitely I try this.👌👌❤❤😊

[@divyaravindran007]

My flan came out perfect !! Thank you !

[@saraht5396]

I followed this recipe1st time wrong size pan but was so amazing now on 2nd time with a taller pan!😍

[@lephan1770]

Thank you for your easy but delicious recipe.

[@plasticturnipboy5642]

I'm making this today :) thanks, again, Thomas!!

[@fishsticks3729]

I’m Argentinian and I never thought flan was hard to make 😂😂 idk it’s like sugar milk and egg mix it, put it in the mold (idk the term, in Argentina we call flanera) (also he used a metal pan, but silicone is 100x better sorry bro) then cook it in the water bath for like 10000 years (more like 5 hr) then take it out put in fridge and ye have a blast the next day. My sister is making it right now since we’re in quarantine and we have lots of milk lol

[@SuperBlondecat]

that's how I make it. Hello from Australia 🐨

[@ChrissieSM]

I much prefer a stainless steel pan. I find silicone gives a taste to the flan, in fact anything cooked in silicone. Cooking the flan in the bain-marie (the French proper term for the water bath) is slow, but you get a nicer texture. Nothing wrong in doing it your way, everyone has their own preferences, mine is the classic French way. Good health to all!

[@rito2276]

Lola exactly I use a blender. I add 5 whole eggs 2 egg yolks, 1 can of condensed milk, 1 can of evaporated milk, heavy cream. Put it into the oven in water bath and after an hour it’s done. Though I’ve never tried making it in silicone. I’ll have to give it a try.

[@alexkim7270]

That's a brilliant way to use that much amount of milk. Wonderful to hear. Stay safe there!

[@chantalhenderson6994]

I have made Flan before but I didn't add the 5 extra yolks. The colour is amazing. Will definitely try this receipe next time.

[@loadedGun99]

What brand are those saucepans?? Where can I buy them?

[@chaguieva]

My mom just mix everything in the blender!! Hahaha i don't know that making flan it was so complicated!

[@annakakorin3124]

i might need that recipe lol, dont know if i can handle this one

[@julie99nl]

Me too, but I do make the caramel like this. I don't like to use too many dishes or utensils. haha...

[@guillemendoza8079]

Anna Kakorin caramelize half a cup of sugar until light brow. put the sugar in your pan. then blend 5 eggs, 14 ounces of condensed milk, 12 ounces of evaporated milk, a teaspoon of vanilla extract, and half a cup of cream cheese. put that mixture into the pan. then put the pan into a water bath like in the video. leave it in the oven at 375° for 30-45 minutes.

[@guillemendoza8079]

Anna Kakorin oh yeah and cover the pan with tin foil

[@Motochick203]

Thats the puerto rican way. 1 can condensed milk, 1 can evaporated milk 1 tsp vanilla extract 4 eggs and blend

[@Lincoln-m4e]

I followed ur recipe and it came out soo good but I added a little cream too

[@ayesha5977]

CAN V REFRIGERATE THE MIXTURE IF IT'S LEFT AND BAKE IT AFTER THE ONE IN THE OVEN IS DONE.........actually my oven is small and so I will need to make it in batch's so please tell if it is possible..PLS REPLY🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@dddsss6999]

Why did you choose a tart pan? Strange idea... In France we use a higher pan, with a smaller diameter

[@zacheysflip859]

It looks nice for the thumbnail and kinda fancy I guess I dunno

[@Melena789]

Looks so perfect gotta make this your way!

[@bethlorquet7895]

If I want to add pumpkin puree, how does that change the recipe?

[@alanb6528]

Can I cut this recipe in half and use about 8, 4 ounce ramekins? The ramekin recipes all seem to use canned milk which seems less desirable

[@bee7549]

This looks delicious. Is it technically a creme caramel or a flan?

[@suesun4587]

My favourite dessert

[@irie7iv]

Beautiful flan😊❤

[@1981cherokee1]

Here I am thinking....is anyone going to remove that white spot in his hair???? I kept watching hoping it's gone !! Only to realize that it's the white eraser of a pencil tucked in Thomas's ear !!!! LOL !!!! Now I have to re-watch the entire video cause I missed everything having fixated on the white spot !!!

[@abeeer1231]

I made it and it was delicious, but full of bubbles. How do I avoid having it?

[@fatemanazir]

So yummy yummy and delicious

[@marilynalvarez9951]

I'm sorry I really like Thomas BUT this really isn't "flan", this is more of a sweeten creme caramel. Flan as it's know is made with sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk and anywhere from 4 to 6 whole eggs with also vanilla extract, the "caramel" sauce at the bottom HAS to cover the whole bottom of the baking pan and up the sides a little, this does look good though.

[@nadinemartranchard1768]

Sounds good but in France which is where the flan comes from, we don't use sweetened condensed mild and evaporated milk in flan - ever

[@marilynalvarez9951]

@@nadinemartranchard1768 It actually came from Roam and it wasn't even sweet, it was more savory. The "Dessert" flan does have sweetened condensed milk and evaporated since milk was not "refrigerated" back then as it can be today.

[@milab7942]

@@marilynalvarez9951 flan does trace back to the Roman's, until it moved to spain and France. But it is originally made with cream or milk. French flan still make it with milk. They did not use condense milk "back then" because condense milk is a 1850s military ration invention, and evaporated milk is a late 1880s invention. Yes they did not have refrigeration, but milk would just be fresh, and used as needed, with the rest turned into other non perishable or at least longer shelf life products. Today, flan is most commonly, and practically always made with condensed milk and evaporated milk. And this method is a whole lot easier and just as tasty as a traditional custard is

[@Passionforfoodrecipes]

I'm writing an eggggggcellent pun for this one... and It's all set!

[@jacquelinelafay647]

This is helpful. I'm going to try that caramel sauce **again**

[@googleyeyes5122]

I burned mine the first 2 times. 😌 The first time was forgiveable... The second time, I swear, I just turned to grab the pan and it went from light amber to black bitter glass... And left my fingers stained for days. 😒 I was like How the heck!

[@Error_707.]

I tried making the first time. It was grainy and hard, Second time was like syrup, but it didn't go to an amber color like I hoped. The 3rd time was the same result as the second one.

[@googleyeyes5122]

@@Error_707. don't wait for the dark amber like he said. But definitely use low medium heat and watch the pot. Mine never took 5-10 minutes like he said. Also- the amber color will show up when you bake it. Swirl the pot, don't stir the sugar. Then you get grainy syrup. Let me know what happens if you decide to keep trying. 😊

[@Error_707.]

@@googleyeyes5122 thank you for the tip! I'll use them once I try making caramel again!

[@googleyeyes5122]

@@Error_707. You got this! 😉 If you want, you can try making simple syrups for tea, coffee, lemonade. Just boil some sugar in water for a minute or 2 until it desolves and the water becomes dark and store in a squeeze container. I would say 1:4 sugar to water ratio. The fun thing is it is up to you. Just so long as it is more water than syrup. A simple syrup is just sugar dissolved in water, not caramel. I use this for lemonade because it is so much better.

[@jcskitchen2822]

Can I steam it and get the same texture?

[@alphafish4756]

Yes like in your pot but make sure to cover it with foil and then cover the pot with the lid

[@hudayounis9832]

thank you❤

[@cristina6231]

Y’all redid that caramel pan! Lmao!! I can’t!

[@celtic0317]

Cristina Yeh I noticed. I knew the caramel had to completely cover the bottom

[@Vanlikeacar]

I don't think they did. Even when the caramel doesn't fully cover the pan at first, once you place the flan into the oven, the caramel will melt again and set itself to be even at the bottom of the flan. This is why when he flipped his flan over, the caramel covers the whole flan.

[@miasounirvana385]

Wonderful recipe ♥ but plz share the recipe using metric standard measurement units.. I checked the website and I didn't find it in metric units

[@lemongreg]

Flantastic

[@anthonyragland01]

I got to make this flan ASAP

[@donnaborghese3869]

love it

[@alexisdix6704]

I have a question. I only use Just Panela which is a raw unrefined uncrystallized sugar. Can I use it to make the caramel top and if so how can I tell when it's done?

[@alejandrolopez6626]

Si lo puedes usar!! Estará más pronto el caramelo que con azúcar refinada!

[@marieensign9972]

It should work for you. the molasses in your sugar might change the flavor some but I use blue agave nectar both in the caramel and in the custard and it works great.

[@victoriageorge5362]

Fantastic

[@securem4915]

It is a bit different in my recipe. I don't put egg white just the yolks. I'm gonna try yours

[@MeliStephanie]

Beautiful! 🥰🤤🤤

[@bettychavez612]

This is more in the style of Creme Caramel. A typical French version...use of milk, no cream. Creme Brulee use of cream & crisp carmel top- to crack open to eat. Flan in the style "en el estilo Mexicano" is canned evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk & tiny bit whole milk & eggs with dark caramel on bottom of pan.

[@mizans3655]

Love you Thomas

[@minivanlinda1762]

He's cute! ♥️

[@karencochoy]

[@nevlieslu2155]

Mexican flan we do not use whole milk. We use evaporated milk or evaporated milk powder.

[@lediciarivera5036]

I recommend NOT to put in so much egg cause it will tast eggy. With 4 is enough!!

[@gigirous5960]

It tastes like if it's not well cook. I used 8 eggs in mine and never tastes like egg. I use a toothpick to check if it's cook.

[@HHHPedigrees]

10 eggs just makes the flan taste so eggy. I feel max you should use is 5. And no condensed milk or heavy cream???

[@PikachuPlays]

wow she looks different

[@josealberto0517]

Whatever they did is way too complicated easiest way to make flan is get one can of sweetened condensed milk one can of carnation milk 6 eggs quarter cup of milk tbsp of vanilla mix in a blender and pour on top the caramel and bake for one hour takes about five minutes for the whole situation

[@carolburnett8372]
