Inspired by a landscape painting by an artist that goes by the name Godfrey. Believe me, his is a lot more elegant. Right now I'm going to take a break.

I'm hesitant to place this on Advanced. . . . all the good artists intimidate me. Please tell me what you think.

short compared to what?

Caddris (Nov 11, 2005)

Short in a geological/paleontological standpoint. Seeing as to a paleontologist 500,000 years ago wasn't far away at all 60-80 years is absolutely nothing. You have to go back a good 65 million years to get to the last dinosuars. Human life only seems long while you live it.

It's all so alliterative..with flans flaming flows...maybe we can do that in flanders? (Is there fluffy flour in flan?)

thug (Nov 1, 2005)

even though I don't know what a flan is, I like the artistic ability that you have demonstrated here. I think that flan is short for fu flux flan, but I could be mistaken.

davincipoppalag (Nov 1, 2005)

It's a french custard dessert with a carmel sauce

ambermac (edited Nov 1, 2005)

thanks all...what is flan? oh thug, how can you say you've lived? i'll share my secret family recipe with you all, my dear friends. (actually i clipped it from the sf chronicle's mexican food section about 3 years ago.)

mexican flan

1 cup sugar
6 egg yolks (room temperature)
2 whole eggs (room temperature)
24 ounces condensed milk
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (mexican vanilla, if available)

preheat oven to 350 degrees f.

place the 1 cup sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and caramelize over medium heat at first, swirl the pan over the heat, but do not stir (this will cause it to clump). after about 8 minutes, when the sugar has begun to liquefy, stir with a heavy spoon. when the caramel turns light brown, quickly (and carefully burns are painful) pour into a 2-quart glass dish or mold. tip pan so caramel coats the bottom and up sides of mold. work fast; caramel hardens quickly.

using a whisk, beat together the egg yolks, eggs, milk, sugar and vanilla. mixture should be well-blended but not frothy. pour into the caramelized mold. cover with the flan mold with a lid. (this prevents the top from overcooking). place the mold in a larger pan (such as a roasting pan) and pour in about 1 1/2 inches of hot water.

place on the bottom rack of the preheated oven and bake for approximately 65 minutes. after 55 minutes, open the oven door and test the flan by inserting the thinnest knife you own into the middle of the flan. do not go all the way to the bottom. if large curds cling to the knife the flan is not yet done. give it about 10 minutes longer. if just a film of custard clings to the knife, the flan is done. When you jiggle the mold, the custard should shimmer in the middle but look cooked around the edge.

remove from oven and cool mold on a rack. the flan will continue to cook for about an hour after being removed from the oven. during this time it will set up. refrigerate at least 2 hours before unmolding.

unmold...
run a thin, sharp knife around the edge of the flan. move the pan from side to side to see if the flan is slipping and free from the edges of the pan. place a flat serving platter with a raised rim on top of the mold. Holding the platter and mold together tightly, flip them over. the flan should slip easily onto the platter, along with most of the caramel sauce. use a spoon to remove more caramel and spoon it around the custard. the bottom of the pan will have a hard layer of caramel still on it.

serve...
cut flan into wedges spooning caramel sauce over each slice.

serves 12

Miss Texas 1938 and Miss Georgia 1944 discuss how wonderful it is not to have to count calories anymore.
Happy Halloween, ya'll.

TOTALLY ignore the clock, can't sit for a long time when my back is bothering me, so I left it here and worked on it a little bit at a time.
(Oh, and I know they probably aren't anatomically correct so don't go counting bones and telling me about it lol)
