Flan, or crème caramel is a custard pudding relished all around the world. Unlike other baked desserts, flan is easy to prepare with minimal ingredients. The rich milk dish is cooked in a bain-marie, or what know as water-bath technique. It is then given the glazing finish with caramelized sugar. It can be served with fruits or ice cream.
