Thank you so much for the recipe! So easy to make but the best leche flan I've ever done. Much better than my mom's recipe! Thanks again for sharing......

Somebody's over reacting over leche flan. Baked or steam, it does taste the same. In the Philippines not everybody has oven to use for baking and here in Canada, steamer is not common in a simple kitchen like what I have. I was born and race in the Philippines and very familiar with this dessert...

Anyway I thank whoever posted this recipe, this is very helpful.

Thank you for sharing your baked Filipino leche flan, I have been steaming mine and I always thought to myself if I can bake it and how because I have a hunch that it is better to bake than steam. By the what does this mean "Ka hiyain elders mo kumuha ito kabuhungan!!!!!"? whatever she sounds so negative, forgive her maybe she or could be he is going through a lot of problems.

Baked leche flans are the best. The consistency, texture, taste... It's just so much more tastier!!!!

it's hard to find a steamer nowadays..steam bake is alright as long as u kno how to do it.ang yabang naman nyang Sali't saling sabi Pilipino na yan.

duh!!! old fashion k namn pla eh!!!! tapos n po ang stone age!!!! high tech n ngaun noh!!!!

Nasubukan ko na ang ganyang style pero ok nmn, un nga lang mas masarap talaga pag steamed. Eto ung version para sa iba na hindi gumagamit ng steamer at oven lang ang gamit kc me timer e, no need to check from to time. =) Kanya-kanyang style a lang yan, wag nmn sana taung mapagmalaki kung me alam tau na mas magandang paraan, at lalaitin pa ang ninuno? Wag nmn! Pede nmn magshare ng knowledge e. Go fof it, Razielle. =)

My mother was born and raised in Manila and later became a citizen of the US. She made this dessert for us many times while I was growing up. She always baked it in the oven. It's good stuff. Not very healthy with all the fat, yolks and sugar, but sure tastes good.

i think the are delishioso!

First of all..I read the comments to see how good the recipe was or if there are any suggestions to make it better. One thing i do not enjoy reading is telling the person that "this is not the proper/filipino way of making it" Who the hell cares??????? There are a lot of filipinos that are all over the world and have no steamers (did you even consider this?) Where I live I can't find a steamer big enough to cook leche flan so I have to use the oven and use a steam bath instead..Also, leche flan is not a filipino thing..in canada we call it Creme Caramel..this particular food did not come from the philippines.. its from the spaniards (so what makes it traditionally ours?).. either way..i have no problem with the recipe..good job on the person who made it because I could never find an easier way to make leche flan than this..

I have no issue with what Sali't wrote. There are just some people who are "purist". I tend to be the same way about a couple of items I cook. Other methods may produce the same, or similar result, but it might not be the traditional way of cooking the item (I tend to get anal about how to cook a cheesecake...even though other methods are just as good).

I am not Filipino, however my husband is. We have an 8 year old daughter who may never make it to the Philippians. I think it would be a good thing culturally for her to at least learn to make a dish its traditional way...if for no other reason than to *say* that she had made it (at least once or twice) the way her ancestors did.

Just my 2 cents.

sali't sabing's comment maybe too much but i guess what he/she is pointing out is the use of "philippine's" in razielle's recipe...she should have made is as 'modified version of philippine's leche flan'...but i agree that the oven version is better than the traditional steam cooking ^_^

Thank you so much for posting this. I need to bring a tray of leche flan this weekend. I normally air steamed my leche flan; but I will try your recipe.

I agree that sali't saling's comment was too much. Though, I think that the recipe was able to solicit that reaction since the title "Philippine's" was used. Leche flan's are originally cooked via steam as most, if not all, Filipinos know. Probably, it would have been better if there was a caption in the title like "(baked)" or "modern" or "non-traditional" or have the word "Philippine's" removed completely.

My friend in Taiwan cooks leche flan using whatever is available (stove or oven). My friend's Filipina wife here in Singapore also cooks it either with open air steaming or with oven... both methods are fantastic! So sad we still have people with serious crab mentality... I don't see much of this among the other Asian countries (I worked in most Asian countries except Myanmar).
