"Creme Caramel" (كريم كرامل)

"Creme Caramel" or "Flan" as it is called here in the states, is an extra delicious dessert.
I got this recipe from my sister who doesn't mind eating it everyday..and I don't blame her!

It takes few steps, but it tastes surely much better than the ready made Flan mix sold in stores.

Ingredients needed:

 6 Eggs.

1 kg Milk. (4 cups)
1 tbsp Pure Vanilla Extract.
1 cup Sugar.
Another 1/2 cup Sugar.
1/2 Lemon.

First prepare the tools you will be using:

• A 9" nonstick "Crown Bundt Pan" or just a "Classic Cake Pan".
• You will also need an extra baking pan, which should be larger than the one you will bake the Creme Caramel in. It doesn't have to be the same shape. It will be used as a water bath.
• A small fry pan, used for doing the Caramel.
• Egg mixer.

Directions:

1. Heat the milk and add 1 cup sugar to it while on stove and keep stirring.
2. While heating, beat the 6 eggs with the Vanilla in a bowl until they make a big foam.
3. Let the milk-sugar mixture cool down.
4. Use the the egg mixer to beat the milk-sugar mixture with the eggs-vanilla mixture. You do it by adding the milk-sugar mix. slowly to the eggs-vanilla mix. while beating all the time.
5. Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
6. Prepare the Bundt Pan by wetting it with water.
7. Add 1/2 cup sugar in a small fry pan and cover with water by 3 ml, squeeze 1/2 lemon and keep stirring until the colour is dark brown on a high heat.
8. Quickly pour the the caramel in the bundt pan and spread it in its bottom .
9. Beat the milk mixture again then add it slowly in the bundt pan over the burned sugar.
10. Fill the other larger pan ( I use a rectangle one) until its quarter with water.
11. Put the bundt pan in it and then put both in the lower rack of the oven.

It will take about 45 minutes, you can check if it's fully baked by using a knife. If the knife comes out clean, then it's done.

Remove from oven and let it cool down for 30 minutes, then put it in the fridge.

At serving time flip it in a nice serving tray with a small edge. You need the edge for the remaining sauce.

Yummy, enjoy!
