1. Traditional flan-making method
Ingredients preparation
- Fresh unsweetened milk: 500ml
- Filtered water: 100ml

- Vanilla: 1 tube or packet

How to make flan
Step 1: To make the first flan, make caramel. Put 50g sugar in a pan, put on low heat and stir evenly, then pour water and stir until the sugar dissolves. Continue stirring until the sugar water turns amber then squeeze some lime inside. Note not to use too high heat, use water to avoid sugar becoming hard and sticking to the pan, smelling burnt.
Step 2: After making caramel, pour it slowly into the prepared box. You can pour thick or thin depending on your taste. Then set aside and move on to making the cake. You can choose from many eye-catching molds to make the cake part more attractive.
Step 3: Beat the eggs, strain to separate the yolks, then beat evenly until the yolks dissolve. Use a sieve to strain the egg yolks to avoid any lumps that would make the cake not smooth and visually appealing.
Step 4: Put 500 ml of milk along with the remaining 50g of sugar (or condensed milk) in a pot on the stove. Stir evenly by hand, wait until the milk is hot, then remove from heat. Absolutely do not let the milk boil.
Step 5: Begin pouring the chicken eggs into the milk, making sure to pour slowly and stir evenly by hand to make the milk smooth, without any bubbles when steamed. Then strain this mixture through a sieve 1 or 2 times to filter out the smoothest liquid. Finally, add vanilla extract to create aroma.
Step 6: Pour the mixture into the box with caramel, then steam it for 15 - 20 minutes. Note that the water should be at a temperature of about 90 degrees Celsius. Cover tightly with a lid for even cooking.
3. How to Make Flan Using an Air Fryer
An air fryer has become an essential kitchen appliance nowadays. Its convenience and efficiency have led everyone to rush to buy one. Making flan with an air fryer is incredibly easy. Simply prepare the ingredients and follow the steps outlined above. Once you have the egg and caramel mixture ready, use the air fryer to cook the flan.
Step 1: Preheat the air fryer for 10 minutes at 110 degrees Celsius. Then line the inside with aluminum foil. You can cover the cake box with aluminum foil or leave it uncovered; this is optional.
Step 2: Arrange the cakes in the sitting tray and begin baking for 35 minutes at 110 degrees Celsius. The advantage of the air fryer is its timer feature, making it easier to adjust the cooking time compared to steaming with a regular pot.
Step 3: Take the cake out and put it in the fridge, flan cake tastes much better when chilled.
