Flan from a can!

Fast and easy flan that beat the caramelized bottom off the full-difficulty traditional flan in a taste test? Sign me up. Here's my friend Josefina's flan recipe:

1/2 cup raw sugar
4 eggs
1 can condensed milk
1 can evaporated milk
1-3 tsp. Mexican vanilla

Heat oven to 350. Boil sugar in a nonstick pan till it just starts to turn brown. Pour sugar & swish to coat bottom of ramekins (or a bread pan, or a glass baking dish - pie pan maybe?).

Combine eggs, both milks and vanilla in blender. Pour into baking dish/ramekins. Place them in a larger pan filled with enough water to go halfway up the side of the baking dish.

Bake 1 hour or till center isn't wiggly and a knife comes out clean. Run knife around edge, put plate over dish and invert to flip the flan out.
