Flan Casero
Argentine baked milk-and-egg custard turned out beneath a soft caramel sauce.
About Flan Casero
Flan Casero is Argentina's familiar homemade caramel custard. This profile follows the national government's vanilla branch, excluding its cocoa alternative and optional bread or biscuit additions that would turn the preparation into bread pudding.
Milk and egg create a mellow custard richness, with vanilla adding a soft floral fragrance. Sugar sweetens the custard and forms a darker caramel that brings gentle bitterness and a toasted finish.
The unmoulded flan is smooth and glossy, pale gold beneath a flowing amber caramel sauce. Its body is softly set and trembles when moved, with an even custard texture rather than air bubbles or crumb.
