This time it's not from the book

We just formed a new group and called it the Gourmet Club consisting of 13 crazy and loud ladies.  We had so much fun yesterday trying all kinds of apetizers, main dishes, pizzas, and salads.  After our stomach got filled up with so much food, it was time for Flan demonstration presented by Rosaria.  She has her own Spanish version of the Flan and here are the ingredients:

1 c sugar
1 can condensed milk
16 oz milk
4 eggs
2 tsps vanilla extract
cinnamon

First start with melting the sugar on the stove until golden and completed melted.  Meanwhile use a bain marie type of pot and boil some water.  Use the other part of the pan and fold the melted sugar in it making sure it reaches all the edges.  If you don't have a bain marie pot you can use a regular pot  for boiling water and a round pyrex pan or any other type of pan to pour all ingredients in and place on top of the pot.   Place the condensed and regular milk in a blender, add the eggs, vanilla extract and cinnamon.  Blend all together and pour over the melted sugar that was folded already in the pan.  Let cook on a low fire for an hour.  Let it sit for a while then put in refrigerator until consistency becomes solid.
You can serve with some strawberries around.

It was the best Flan I ever tasted and did not even feel the eggs because some Creme Caramel or Flan have a very strong taste of eggs.  This one did not, in fact, tasted so light.
If you have a better version of Flan, please use the comments below.
