You know what would be really good right now?... :)~

FLAN... :)~ That's what my girl would say! She loves this dessert so much, that when I would say, " You know what would be good right now.......) That would be her reply!....Silly I know....But it's kind of a running joke for years now!

I have had to make this for so many restaurants. It is certainly a classic!.....
I like to add my own twist of course!......By adding different flavors, fruits, nuts, ect to the basic recipe.......
Just be careful with the Very Hot sugar....and don't let it burn!.......I can't tell you how many times I've been so busy at work that I have let the sugar go too far, and burnt it beyond using...Once it gets too dark. It gets bitter! It takes a while to get to the caramel color. But once it starts changing, Don't leave it! ...... It will go quickly from here.
