Sahar02

This is always amazing. (there are some photos here: Party photos )

Flan/Egg pudding
Ingredients:
1) 2 cups Heavy Cream
2) 2 cups Half and Half
3) 4 Eggs
4) 1/2 cup Sugar
5) 1 tbs. Vanilla
Preparation:
1) Beat eggs and sugar.
2) Add the half and half plus the cream and vanilla.
3) Bake in caramelize dish in a water bath at 300 degrees. Bake for
two hours.
[To caramelize the dish – heat additional sugar in a frying pan, stirring regularly to make sure it doesn’t burn. It will become a clear liquid and then turn amber. As it becomes evenly amber, pour into dish, trying to keep it fairly even/smooth (though it doesn’t really matter, as the heat during baking will help it even out).]

SAHAR...while making the caramel,do you add any water to the sugar...??
and what kind of dish do you bake it in...glass..??..a cake pan...??

Sahar02

^ No water.

I bake it in any dish that can go in the oven. Usually pyrex or a bundt pan.

ok..thank you...
i was thinking of trying this...and was just confused about what dish to use...so I'll use a pyrex dish...

Sahar02

^ Just make sure it's not too shallow.

^ hey Sahar - everything looks amazing in that thread re the party...

You come across as such a perfectionist!!

2 questions: Whats half and half? I live in the UK so what would be the equivalent?

You also stated regarding the caramel. Do you make the caramael, pour into the dish before you put in the egg mixture? I dont get it...i love this dessert and would love to make it? Can i make it in little glass ramakins?

Lusi

Yes, you pour the caramal into the dish and let it cool down. If you add the egg mixture on the hot caeamal, it might make your egg scramble egg...A;lso you can make it in any glass ramakins that is oven safe.

Sunset, I wasn't sure, so I asked the great Wikipedia. Here was the response:
"In the United States, half and half is a very light cream typically used in coffee. Its butterfat content is about 12.5%,[1] which makes it low-calorie and more stable in coffee. It is widely available in the United States, both in individual-serving containers and in bulk. It is also used to make ice cream. The same product is known as half cream in the United Kingdom."

Also, note that if you are cooking in a smaller dish, the cook time will be signicantly less. The original recipe is for individual servings and the cook time is 1hr.

I Love Love Love flan! Good recipe although I always go to my local bakery for it...

Xenophanez

now what is "half & half"?

Sahar02

Are you British, X? This may help.

Sunset_Eyes

Thanks Sahar - will defo give it a try inshallah.

Xenophanez

so it's a mixture of HALF cream and MILK. btw y don't just add 2-1/2 cup of FULL cream in 1 cup milk.

somegroovychick

half and half isn't a requirement... you can also use full fat milk (whole milk) or cream or even just regular plain milk if thats all you have on hand. thats the beauty of this recipe- its very nonfussy!

bunnyhoney

Half and half is the American version of semi skimmed milk, if you are in UK.

Lusi

half and half is cream not semi skimmed milk.

bunnyhoney

Well in UK they have cream too.
