PHILIPPINE'S LECHE FLAN

Caramel:

1 cup sugar
3/4 cup water

Custard:

12 egg yolks
1 (12 oz.) can evaporated milk
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
1 tbsp. vanilla

In a large bowl, combine all custard ingredients. Stir lightly when mixing to prevent bubbles or foam from forming. Strain slowly while pouring caramel lined flan mold.

Preheat oven to 325°F.

Cover mold with tin foil. Put molds into a bigger tray filled with water.

Bake in oven for one hour or until mixture is firm. cool before unmolding on a platter.

**One of the ingredients of our famous Halo-Halo dessert

Put sugar and water in a saucepan. Caramelize in medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Pour into flan molds or custard cups, tilting the mold to make sure the whole surface (about less than 1 cm) is covered. The more caramel you pour into the molds the sweeter the leche flan.

Put molds in a bigger tray/ baking pan filled with water.

Bake in oven for one hour or until mixture is firm. Cool before unmolding on a platter.

I haven't been to the phil. For a very very long time and as I was reading all the comments and really some of us haven't change their moldy mentality. Who cares if its oven or steam, it all depends on who's cooking and eating it. If it's good-fine! If not look for another recipe, no fuss. If they don't have oven-they won't have computers either TO LOOK FOR RECIPE!

Hi there kababayan! Actually I use this page for my cooking guide and I don't see any difference cooking leche flan using steamer or oven, problem here though, the way she tag her leche flan, not the filipino typical way of cooking it, but yeah,you did great job! Your leche flan is quite better than the one we used to eat before...

I also agree about using pancake syrup when don't want to take the time to cook sugar, I was given this hint by my husband's father, who was a good filipino cook, but has passed away. He taught me how to make leche flan before he passed. I am not filipino. But he taught me also the way you suggested in the oven. He was also old school.

Nad (United States) says:

I agree the Philippine way of cooking Leche Flan is steam. Your style is oven bake thus not Philippine style. I also agree about respect, it is hard to be respected kung ipinag-wawalang bahala natin, dahil "gusto ko eh!" o, "mas magaling ako" o, "paraan ko ito, paki mo" not all of us would be where we are without our elders and thier elders before them. I will say this is not Philippine Leche Flan but it is Leche Flan. Maybe you can consider putting Modified or Improved or just the name of the recepie like others did.

The sauce i use pancake syrup, kasi sometimes I over do when making from scratch at lasang mapait. This is not Philippne syle but it still is Leche Flan.

To salit-saling...it's a shame that you still have that kind of mentality, you should be proud of your "kababayan", razielle, at least she is smart to discover new techniques to make everybody's life easier. Have a new year and a new life sweetheart. For razielle... go girl God bless you.

Izza (California) says:

Hi thank you sa technique.its my first time to cook leche flan, and i wanna impress my husband. paborito kasi niya. i have a question though, pwede po bang hindi na ilagay sa larger pan na may tubig? kelangan bang nasa ibaba yun larger pan na may tubig? kasi may nabasa naman ako na ganun. or kelangnan tlga ilagay yung llanera sa luob ng larger pan? salamat po ng marami!:D
PS: obviously wala akong steamer. so open air steamer is so old school! korek ka nga naman Marilou, anong petsa na nga namn di ba? pa-sikat lang un si Sali't-saling...
salamat razielle sa recipe!

im a chef by profession, though i'm not into desserts but i had my professional training before that calls for baking the custard or the leche flan per se.. and indeed it was exceptionally better compared to steaming or the use of bain marie.. hindi sya nakakaumay... well, long live razielle... wish you all the best this new year..

Salit Sabing...Are you serious?! It's a shame that you still have that kind of mentality. Everyone has their own way of making things and for you to be that judgemental is not becoming. The leche flan turned out great and it's exactly how my uncle makes it. Who used to be a Navy Chef. Steam oven or open air. Still tastes great!

ed says:

So typical filipino crab mentality... Recipes are as varied as nationalities and ethnicities... Lets just cook the way we know how without criticizing the other-you might want to try the other way of cooking things and learn something. Humility and graciousness go a long way, "salit saling"!!! ...Go razielle

Jo says:

This is helpful and a a lot of people in the Philippines now have ovens... I don't have llanera and can't find them in any stores here in the U.S. It just tastes the same so you mean rellenong inihaw na bangus is not Philippines' rellenong bangus if u broil it or grill it using an oven? Peace! The outcome is just the same.... Whether you bake it or steam it.

JENNIE MARINAS says:

Although I am an American married to a filipino, I learned to make this dessert in the philippines. I have always steamed it. I am going to try baking it. I will let you know!!!

piggypig says:

OVERRRR. ka naman mamintas sa kalahi natin. Kahit anong style pa yan ng cooking basta Pilipino gumawa ay SUPER SARAPPP yan. try mo kaya style nya and you will know the difference. so sooo very perfectionist. magbago ka na.
