Method (preview)

1. 1

   Butter 6 8-inch ramekins.

2. 2

   Place all ingredients in a heavy saucepan and cook over high heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until caramel turns golden brown and runs clear (without traces of granulated sugar).

3. 3

   Pour the caramel into prepared ramekins and set aside to cool.

4. 4

   Heat both milks and the coffee extract in a heavy saucepan over medium heat until just before boiling; when bubbles begin to form around the edges of the pan, remove from heat.

5. 5

   Whisk the eggs and egg yolks into the milk mixture.

6. 6

   Pour the mixture into the prepared ramekins.

7. 7

   Place ramekins in a casserole pan and fill pan with hot water to reach 1/2 to 2/3 of the way up the sides of the ramekins.

8. 8

   Bake at 325 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes or until the skin on the top of the custard is set (no longer sticky).

9. 9

   Remove from oven and let cool.

10. 10

    Heat sugar and water in a heavy saucepan over medium heat until the mixture turns a golden colour (to about 270 degrees; when mixture forms brittle threads when dropped into ice water, it is ready).

11. 11

    Allow to cool (this takes only a few minutes).

12. 12

    Remove swirls with a spatula and use to garnish cooled flan, as liberally as desired.
