How to Prepare the Caramel:  In a small heavy-bottomed saucepan, mix
together the sugar and water.  Cook the sugar over high heat until the
syrup turns a light amber  color. Immediately pour into a shallow
five-cup baking dish, swirling  to coat the bottom and sides of the
dish.  How to Prepare the Flan:  Preheat the oven to 300 F. In a medium
heavy-bottomed saucepan bring  the milk, vanilla bean, and half the
sugar to a boil. Place the  remaining sugar, eggs and egg yolks in a
medium bowl, and whisk until  just blended. Temper the hot milk mixture
into the egg mixture, and  pass through a fine strainer into the
prepared dish. Bake in a water  bath for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15
minutes, or until just set and a  knife inserted comes clean.
Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. To  unmold, run a thin knife
between the custard and the inside of the  baking dish. Place a serving
plate upside-down over the pan, and  invert the pan with a firm, yet
smooth shake.  © 1997 Lifetime Entertainment Services. All rights

A Message from our Provider:

“A cheerful spirit is one of the most valuable gifts ever bestowed upon humanity by a kind Creator. It is the sweetest and most fragrant flower of the Spirit, that constantly sends out its beauty and fragrance, and blesses everything within its reach. It will sustain the soul in the darkest and most dreary places of this world. It will hold in check the demons of despair, and stifle the power of discouragement and hopelessness. It is the brightest star that ever cast its radiance over the darkened soul, and one that seldom sets in the gloom of morbid fancies and forboding imaginations.”
