Spanish Flan Classic Spanish Flan with Silky Caramel Topping Ingredients: 1 cup granulated sugar (for caramel) 1/4 cup water (for caramel) 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk 1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk 3 large eggs 1 tablespoon vanilla extract Pinch of salt Directions: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves, then allow it to boil without stirring until it turns deep amber in color, about 8–10 minutes. Carefully pour the hot caramel into the bottom of a round 8-inch cake pan or flan mold. Tilt to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden. In a blender, combine sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth. Pour the custard mixture over the hardened caramel in the pan. Place the filled pan in a larger baking dish. Pour hot water into the outer dish to create a water bath, reaching halfway up the sides of the flan pan. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the flan is set but slightly jiggly in the center. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan and invert onto a serving plate, allowing the caramel to drizzle over the top.

Looking for a delightful flaky crust that fits your keto lifestyle? This Flaky Keto Pie Crust is just what you need for all your favorite sweet and savory pies! #KetoRecipes #LowCarb #BakingAtHome #HealthyEating #PieLove **Ingredients:** - 1 1⁄2 cups almond flour - 1⁄2 cup coconut flour - 1 teaspoon salt - 1 teaspoon xanthan gum - 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed - 1 large egg - 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar - 2 to 4 tablespoons cold water **Directions:** 1. Let’s kick things off by grabbing a large mixing bowl. Toss in the almond flour, coconut flour, salt, and xanthan gum. Give it a good mix to ensure everything is well blended. 2. Next up, add those cold, cubed butter pieces into the flour mixture. You can either use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend it in, breaking up the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Yum! 3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and apple cider vinegar until frothy. 4. Now, pour that egg mixture into your flour blend, and stir it all together until it starts to come together. 5. It’s time to add some cold water! Gradually mix in 2 to 4 tablespoons, one at a time, until the dough is cohesive but not sticky. 6. Roll the dough into a ball, wrap it up in plastic wrap, and let it chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This is where the magic happens! 7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you wait. 8. Take that chilled dough and roll it out between two sheets of parchment paper until it’s the perfect size for your pie dish. 9. Transfer the rolled-out dough to your pie dish, trim any excess hanging over the edges, and prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling – trust me, your future pie will thank you! 10. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes until it’s lightly golden. Remove it from the oven and let it cool before you fill it with your favorite goodies! **Nutritional Facts** (per serving): - Calories: 180 - Protein: 4g - Fat: 16g - Carbohydrates: 5g - Fiber: 3g - Net Carbs: 2g **Serving Size:** One slice of pie (assuming 8 slices from one pie).
