1. 1

   Prepare the Caramel

   In a saucepan, melt the sugar over medium heat until it turns golden brown.

   Stir constantly to prevent burning.
2. 2

   Coat the Mold

   Quickly pour the caramel into a flan mold, tilting to coat the bottom and sides evenly.

   Be careful, as the caramel will be very hot.
3. 3

   Blend Ingredients

   In a blender, combine sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.

   Make sure there are no lumps.
4. 4

   Pour Mixture

   Pour the blended mixture into the caramel-coated mold.

   Do this slowly to avoid mixing the caramel and custard.
5. 5

   Bake the Flan

   Place the mold in a larger baking dish filled with water and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 50-60 minutes.

   The flan is done when a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

   Cool and Serve

   Let the flan cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.

   To unmold, run a knife around the edges and invert onto a plate.
