Simple Caramel Flan

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2. 2

   Stir 1 tablespoon water into 1/4 cup sugar in a heavy saucepan over medium heat until the sugar is fully moistened. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low and cook without stirring until it turns a golden brown syrup, about 5 minutes. Take off the heat and let the boiling subside. Carefully stir 1 tablespoon hot water into the caramel syrup.

3. 3

   Whisk milk and 5 tablespoons sugar in a saucepan over low heat; warm just until heated through and the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and whisk the eggs into the milk mixture. Pour the caramel syrup into an 8x8-inch baking dish. Pour the egg-milk mixture over the syrup. Set the pan inside a larger baking dish and add enough water to the outer pan to come about 1/2 inch up the sides of the inner pan.

4. 4

   Bake in the preheated oven until the custard is set, about 45 minutes. Let cool for about 10 minutes; then chill in the refrigerator before serving.
