- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Total Time: 50 minutes
- Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups 2% low-fat milk
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Begin by preheating your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius) to ensure it’s ready for baking later. |
| 2 | In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, 1/4 cup of honey, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture until well combined, ensuring it’s mixed thoroughly but not overly foamy. |
| 3 | In a separate small bowl, mix the remaining 1/4 cup of honey with the ground cinnamon until fully incorporated. Set this honey-cinnamon mixture aside for later use. |
| 4 | Take 4 (6-ounce) custard cups and place them in an 8-inch square baking dish. This will serve as the vessel for your individual flans. |
| 5 | Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the honey-cinnamon mixture into each custard cup, ensuring an even distribution. Then, carefully pour the prepared egg mixture into each custard cup, dividing it evenly among them. |
| 6 | Once your custard cups are filled, carefully place the baking dish on the middle rack of your preheated oven. |
| 7 | Pour boiling water into the baking dish around the custard cups, ensuring it reaches a depth of about 1 inch. This water bath will help ensure gentle, even cooking of the flans. |
| 8 | Bake the flans in the preheated oven for approximately 30 to 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center of the flans comes out clean. |
| 9 | Once baked to perfection, remove the baking dish from the oven and allow the flans to cool slightly. |
| 10 | Serve the Classic Honey Flans either warm or chilled, as per your preference. |
| 11 | For an elegant presentation, gently loosen the edges of each custard using a spatula or knife, then invert them onto individual dessert plates before serving. |
