Mexican Flan
2 whole eggs
5 egg yolks
2 cups milk
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup granulated sugar
Combine whole eggs, egg yolks, milks and vanilla extract. Measure sugar into a 6-cup metal pan or mold. Set directly over medium heat and stir constantly with a wooden spoon until sugar is melted and light caramel in color. Be careful not to overcook or sugar will burn.
Pour custard mixture into prepared mold. Set mold in a large shallow baking dish containing an inch or two of water. Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes to one hour. Cool, then chill.
To serve: Invert custard onto a chilled serving plate. Sugar will be a sauce on top.
