Flan
Alright folks, let's talk about making some delicious Flan! Here's what you need: Sugar, Milk, Vanilla Pod, Egg Yolks, Egg, and Dulce de Leche. First things first, let's start with the caramel. Put 100 grams of sugar in a frying pan over medium heat. Don't stir with a spoon, just swirl the pan until the sugar melts into a beautiful amber color. Be quick to pour this into the bottom of four flan containers before it hardens. Now, preheat your oven to 150 degrees Celsius and find a casserole big enough to fit all your flan containers. Here's a little tip from me: If you accidentally make the caramel too dark (we've all been there), just add a splash of hot water to lighten it up. Crisis averted! Oh, and here's a fun fact: One time, I forgot to preheat the oven before pouring the caramel into the containers. Let's just say it was a sticky situation trying to heat it up later! Enjoy this creamy Uruguayan flan with its delightful blend of flavors. Happy cooking, friends!

For the caramel place 100 grams of sugar in a frying pan without any fat and melt on medium heat. Try not to stir with a spoon, but swirl the pan itself. Let melt until you have an amber color and sugar is fully melted. Fill the bottom of four flan containers with it. Caramel will harden immediately, so you need to be fast. My containers yield about 120 milliliters each.

Heat milk with 45 grams of sugar and the cut and scraped out vanilla pod. The milk does not need to boil, just needs to be heated. Take out vanilla pod after a few minutes. Meanwhile stir the egg yolks and eggs gently, try not to incorporate any air in it. Them pour milk-mix into egg-mix and again only stir very gently. Pour into prepared flan containers and place these into your casserole or container. Boil water and pour the water into the large casserole. Be sure not to touch the flan mixture. Place on middle rack in the oven and let bake for about 35-40 minutes. An inserted toothpick should come out clean.
