LATIN FLAN

Steps:

• In a small heavy bottomed saucepan, stir sugar and lime juice together until well mixed.
• If the sugar is well coated this will stop the caramel from crystallising while you are making it.
• With a wooden spoon, stir over medium heat until the sugar melts and turns a dark caramel colour.
• Pour the hot caramel into an 8 inch fround flat baking dish and telt the dish backwards and forwards quickly so that the caramel coats the bottom evenly.
• Combine egg yolks, vanilla, milk and condensed milk in a bowl.
• Stir in the egg white and mix until well blended.
• Pour into caramel-coated dish.
• Place dish in a larger baking pan and pour in enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the dish.
• Bake in a preheated oven[350 deg F] for 45 minutes to an hour, until a knife inserted in the middle of the custard comes out clean.
• Chill several hours or overnight.
• To serve, run a knife around the rim of the custard and invert it on a serving plate.
• Cut in wedges.
