Step 3:

Pour the warm vanilla milk on the preparation made in step 2. Mix.

Step 4:

Pour all the mixture into the saucepan.

Heat on medium heat (5/10) stirring constantly with a whisk for 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat when the cream has thickened.

Pour into a baking dish.

Step 5:

Bake at 180 ° C / 350 ° F for 40 minutes until a nice golden crust forms on the surface.

If you use an oven with gas rails or electric heaters… Do not put your flan in direct contact with flames or hot coils! To prevent the base of your flan from baking too quickly and burning, put an empty baking sheet between your flan and the flames / hot coils. The heat diffusion will be more homogeneous in your oven.

At the end of cooking, let cool, then cover and refrigerate for several hours. The ideal is to do it the day before and leave it all night in the fridge before eating.
