Ingredients

 * 1 egg
 * 1 small glass of milk
 * 1 dessert spoon of caramel or 1 dessert spoon of sugar + 1 dessert spoon of water
 * 2 dessert spoon of sugar

 * 2) Beat the egg with 2 spoonfuls of sugar
 * 3) Add milk and beat well
 * 4) Pour the mixture into the flan mold on top of the caramel
 * 5) Place the mold in a pan of simmering water. Make sure water is shallower than mold so none gets into the flan.
