3. Mix and Strain:
Blend the Mixture:Â Gradually add the warm milk to the egg mixture, whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from curdling.
Strain:Â Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into another bowl to ensure a smooth texture.
4. Prepare the Baking Dish:
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Pour Mixture:Â Pour the strained mixture into individual ramekins or a large flan dish.
5. Bake the Flan:
Water Bath:Â Place the ramekins or flan dish in a larger baking pan. Fill the baking pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
Bake:Â Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the flan is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Cool and Serve:
Cool:Â Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until chilled.
Serve:Â To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan and invert it onto a plate. Enjoy your creamy, citrusy flan!
