 Larry Matthies has served up this dish for an appreciative bunch many


 times, but it has taken five years after he left town for me to get this


 recipe from him. Decadence rating is high.


 


 Break eggs into a blender, add sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk


 and vanilla extract. Blend on a moderate to high speed till well mixed.


 


 Put sugar into a saucepan and melt over low heat, stirring constantly to


 avoid burning. Pour sugar into a Flan dish (approx 9 inch diameter) and


 tilt the dish to coat the bottom and the sides evenly; work fast here,


 because the sugar solidifies quickly. Pour in the custard.


 


 Preheat oven to 350. Set Flan pan in oven in a larger pan that contains


 about 1/4 inch of water in the bottom; Bake for about an hour. Doneness


 test is to insert a knife in the center of the Flan; if it comes out more


 or less clean, the Flan is done. After removing the Flan from the oven,


 invert it onto a serving dish. Do this carefully to avoid breaking the


 custard and to avoid spilling the sugar syrup all over yourself. Serve warm


 or cold. For variation, try replacing the vanilla with other flavorings,


 such as almond extract.
