FLAN

2 c. half and half cream
4 egg yolks
2-1/2 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/3 c. light brown sugar

Heat the half- and- half. In a mix master bowl, beat the egg yolks, gradually adding the sugar and beating it until it forms a ribbon. Slowly dribble the hot cream into the egg mixture while beating. Beat at low speed so as not to add air. Add vanilla.

Pour into a one- quart soufflé dish or 5 individual 3-½ inch soufflé dishes. Place in a pan containing one inch of hot water and bake, uncovered, at 325 F. until set. The one- quart soufflé will take 40 minutes and the individual soufflés will bake in 25 minutes.

When the custard is set, sprinkle with sifted light brown sugar (sift through a strainer). Cover the custard all the way to the sides. Place under a broiler or 450 F. for a minute until the sugar melts. DO NOT BURN the sugar. Chill and serve cold. Makes 5-6 servings....Show more

Alot of the mexican restaurants here serve churros. My daughter had to make them for her Spanish class. They are time consuming but are really good.
