This is the most basic one since today, there are a lot of twists in making a leche flan. So if you are a newbie, I would suggest you to try first the most basic one because aside from it's cheaper than the ones that has a twist, having the basics will help you estimate the taste and the cooking minutes since you know all of us has different likes, in terms of sweetness and texture. So now let's start the tutorial!

Ingredients:
7 Eggs
8tbsp Sugar
1 1/2tbsp vanilla
1can Evaporated Milk
1can Condensed Milk

Materials to used:
Mixing bowl
Small bowl
Whisk or Fork
Llanera or leche flan molder
Plastic Bottle

In mostly of the leche flan tutorials, egg whites are excluded but isn't it a waste of egg whites if you exclude all? In this tutorial, we will include some of the egg whites that is why I'm just using 7eggs instead of 10.

Here's my video tutorial you might want to watch:

I also prepared for a picture tutorial:

First, we will make a sugar syrup.
Put all the sugar on one llanera and put it on the stove over low fire. Use a clip or tong to hold the llanera and constantly shake it until all the granules are melted.

Be patient in waiting for the sugar to melt. Do not put it over high fire for it will be burnt and it will taste bitter.<

Divide the sugar syrup into the llaneras that you will be usuing. Do the division quickly for the sugar syrup will harden in just a short period of time. After dividing, set the llaneras aside. Be careful! It's hot!

Second, let us make the leche flan mixture!
So to start, crack the egg and put it on the small bowl.

Get the plastic bottle and squeeze it like in the picture below.

Put the mouth of the bottle on the egg yolk and release. You must have the egg yolk inside the bottle then release it to the mixing bowl.

Even we are going to include some the egg whites, (in this tutorial I included 4 egg whites) you still need to put first the egg on the small bowl to check if the egg is okay then put it to the mixing bowl.<

Third, beat the eggs on the mixing bowl using the whisk or the fork.

We don't have a whisk so I used a fork.<

Fourth, open your condensed milk and pour all its content on the mixing bowl. Mix it well using the whisk or fork.

Sixth, pour the vanilla then mix it well again using the whisk or fork.

Seventh, pour the mixture the to the llaneras in your desired amount then cover it.

In my case, two of my llaneras have no cover so I covered it with a foil.<

Eighth, prepare you steamer. Put enough water to it and set it to high fire. Wait for the water to boil.

Ninth, when the water in the steamer is boiling, get your llaneras and put it on the steamer. Set it to low fire and wait for 35-40mins.

Have it on low fire so that the leche flan mixture inside the llanera will not boil. Do not let the mixture boil or else you'll have holes on your leche flan and it will look like the surface of the moon. haha<

Tenth, ENJOY! Coz you've successfully made it! Congrats! haha
