Ingredients
Flan
- 250 grams (8.82 oz) White Sugar – Regular Sugar – Granulated Sugar
- 100 ml (3.38 floz) Water
- 7 pcs Egg Yolk
- 1 pc Egg
Caramel
- 100 grams (3.53 oz) White Sugar – Regular Sugar – Granulated Sugar
- 2 tbsp Water
Instructions
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 120°C/248°F.
Syrup
In a saucepot, add the water and sugar and boil over high heat until you get to the consistency of a “teardrop” or thick syrup. The estimated time to reach this point is 12-15 minutes.
Once consistency has been achieved, removed from heat and let it rest in the pot.
Caramel
Add sugar and water to a nonstick saucepan over medium heat. When the sugar begins to turn brown, turn off the heat and stir for a bit and transfer to the mold/flanera.
Tocinillo de Cielo
In a mixing bowl, beat the yolks and whole egg until the color changes to a lighter yellow. Gradually add the syrup without having to stop whisking. Mix well until everything is well incorporated.
With a sieve over another mixing bowl, let the egg and syrup mixture pass through once to remove lumps.
Equally divide the egg mixture amongst the molds/flaneras where the caramel has already been poured in. Wrap the molds/flaneras in foil.
In a large baking sheet/tray or a deep rectangular pan, arrange the covered molds accordingly and pour water over the pan. The pan should be about one-third to half full, depending on the pan being used.
When the oven has reached the desired temperature, you may put the pan inside and leave it to cook for 30-35 minutes. Should time be up and it still does not seem cooked, you may add another 5 minutes to the cooking time.
Once finished, remove it from the oven and cool until it reaches room temperature. Then transfer to the chiller for it to completely set for at least 8 hours.

Cooking tip for making Tocinillo de Cielo
Best to make this dessert a day ahead. The longer it sits in the fridge, the better the outcome. Ensure that the syrup to be added to the mixture is not too hot. Otherwise, it will turn your mixture into scrambled eggs. DO NOT overmix your egg mixture.
