butterscotch flan
Hi there - can anyone give me a recipe for butterscotch flan. It was my favourite school dinner pudding back in the late 70's. I don't think it is the same as gypsy tart and other recipes I have tried are more like treacle tarts. It is a coffee colour and has a blamange texture. Would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you

When I hear flan, I'm reminded of what we find in Mexico. Here's a recipe similar to one I brought home years ago from Manzanillo:
1 cup and 1/2 cup sugar
6 large eggs
1 14oz can sweetened condensed milk
2 13 oz cans evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. You will need 6 ramekins or other specialty flan cook ware ( we use fluted creme brule'ramekins) and a large baking pan to put them in.
Pour 1 cup sugar in warm pan over medium heat. Constantly stir sugar until is browns and becomes caramel.
Quickly pour approximately 2-3 tablespoons of caramel in each ramekin, tilting it to swirl the caramel around the sides. Reheat caramel if it starts to harden.
In a mixer or with a whisk, blend the eggs together. Mix in the milks then slowly mix in the 1/2 cup of sugar, then the vanilla. Blend smooth after each ingredient is added.
Pour custard into caramel lined ramekins. Place ramekins in a large glass or ceramic baking dish and fill with about 1-2 inches of hot water. Bake for 45 minutes in the water bath and check with a knife just to the side of the center. If knife comes out clean, it's ready.
Remove and let cool. Let each ramekin cool in refrigerator for 1 hour (longer is even better). Invert each ramekin onto a small plate, the caramel sauce will flow over the custard. Enjoy!
