Tips for successfully making baked flan
- When beating the egg and milk mixture, you should not beat too vigorously to avoid creating air bubbles.
- You should only stir the mixture in one direction and strain it a few times before steaming.
- Do not steam the cake at too high a temperature, as this will cause the egg and milk mixture to boil and become pockmarked.
- If steaming the cake using a steamer, you should use a towel that absorbs water well, cover the pot’s mouth, and then put the lid on. Every 15 minutes, open the lid once and wipe away the steam.
- If baking the cake in an oven, you should preheat it at 150 – 160 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes. Line a cloth in the baking tray before placing the cake mold in it. Then pour boiling water to cover about half of the mold before baking.
