Orange flan
Let us start this New year 2010 in the sweetest of ways: with a dessert. And not just with any dessert, but with a Spanish flan, egg-and-milk goodness, cooked in a water bath in oven. Here I propose a recipe using orange as the main flavor. Sugar is replaced with sweet condensed milk which makes this flan specially delicious. Who says that the best desserts have to be complicated to prepare… 
ORANGE FLAN
- 2 servings -
3 large eggs
juice (85ml, more or less) and grated peel of one orange
120ml sweet condensed milk
120ml milk, preferably full-fat
oil for the ramekins
a bit of maple syrup
2 orange slices, for decoration (optional)
1. Preheat the oven at 140ºC. Beat together the eggs, orange juice and peel, milk and condensed milk.
2. Oil 2 ramekins (or 4, if very small) and pour in some maple syrup, then the egg-milk mixture.
3. Fill a baking dish with hot water and place the ramekins inside. Transfer to the oven and cook the flan for about 1 hour (make the toothpick check). Cover with aluminum foil if needed.
4. Let the flan cool completely before unmolding onto serving plate, decorate with orange slice and then … enjoy!
