Flan Pan
In many countries such as Mexico, Spain, as well as Cuba it is customary
to make flan in a special pan (mold) over a bain marie (water bath).
The molds are fitted with a lid that clips on securely. The
custard can be prepared on the cooktop or in the oven. First
you add sugar and water to the pan and swirl over a hot burner to
melt the sugar and form the caramel. The pan is then filled with the
custard mixture and placed over a pot of boiling water (either in an
oven or over a double boiler) where it remains until the custard is set,
about 1 hour.

The custard
is cooled, then inverted on a plate. The flan is cut in wedges and
served with the caramel poured over the top.
