Ingredients

4 tablespoons	granulated sugar
2 tablespoons	water
4	large eggs
1 cup	sweetened condensed milk
1 cup	whole milk
1 teaspoon	vanilla extract

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. 2 In a small saucepan, combine 4 tablespoons of sugar with 2 tablespoons of water over medium heat.
3. 3 Cook without stirring until the sugar dissolves and turns a deep amber color to make caramel.
4. 4 Quickly pour the caramel into the bottom of ramekins, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool.
5. 5 In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
6. 6 Strain the egg mixture through a fine sieve into a pouring jug to remove any egg lumps.
7. 7 Pour the egg mixture over the set caramel in the ramekins.
8. 8 Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
9. 9 Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the flan is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
10. 10 Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature.
11. 11 Chill the flans in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
12. 12 To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan, invert onto a plate, and let the caramel sauce flow over the top.
