Teacher Appreciation Week - Monday

This past week was Teacher Appreciation week at Jax's daycare. We showed our appreciation by taking in food each day.

Monday - flan, also for Cinco de Mayo. We got the recipe from ReceipeZaar, but tweaked it a little bit.

Ingredients
1/2 cup sugar, caramelized
5 eggs, well beaten
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Several dashes cinnamon

Directions

1. Coat tube pan with caramelized sugar. (Made in the microwave - combine sugar with 1/8 cup water, then microwave for about 4 minutes, checking to make sure it doesn't burn. As soon as it's golden, take it out.)
2. Allow to harden, then place pan in container with ice cold water until the caramelized sugar cracks.
3. Mix other ingredient in order, stir well and pour in mold.
4. Place mold in pan with enough hot water to come up to the top of the flan in preheated oven.
5. Bake at 350°F for 1 hour or until firm.
6. Let cool, then invert& unmold.
