Method (preview)

1. 1

   Fill the outer pan with just enough hot tap water to come up around the other pan; hold down the pie pan so it won't float.

2. 2

   Then remove the pie pan and put only the pan of water in a preheating 350 oven while you mix the custard.

3. 3

   In a small frying pan over moderate heat melt 1/3 cup sugar; shake pan instead of stirring.

4. 4

   Once melted, the sugar will caramelize quickly; as soon as it does, pour at once into the 9-inch pie pan.

5. 5

   If syrup hardens before you finish, set pan on moderate heat until syrup softens, then continue.

6. 6

   Beat together to blend the eggs and second 1/3 cup sugar; add milk and vanilla.

7. 7

   Set caramel-lined pan in hot water in oven; pour in the egg mixture.

8. 8

   Bake in a 350 oven for about 25 minutes; test by gently pushing custard in center with back of a spoon -- when done a crevice about 3/8 inch deep forms.

9. 9

   Remove from hot water and chill at once.

10. 10

    As the Flan cools, the caramel dissolves somewhat.

11. 11

    When cold, loosen just the custard edge, then cover with a rimmed serving plate.

12. 12

    Holding plate in place, quickly invert.

13. 13

    To serve, cut in wedges, spoon on sauce.
