Hi Alan,

Most recipes on this site are "family sized" and are meant to serve about 4 normal people unless the recipe explicitly states otherwise. When you answer the question as to "What is a normal person?" you will have the answer also to "What is a normal serving?"

The servings depend upon who is at the table - a quilter's group of grandmothers or a football team, and again, on how many other dishes are being served alongside.

A flan is a circular item and can only be divided into wedges like a pizza; serving amounts depend upon how you slice it, normally 6-10 slices can be made when sliced straight across.
