Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F and place 1/2 cup sugar in a dry saucepan over medium heat, swirling (not stirring) until it melts into a deep amber caramel, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- 2
Immediately pour the caramel into a 9-inch round flan mold or 6 ramekins, tilting quickly to coat the bottoms before it hardens.
- 3
In a bowl, whisk the eggs, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth, then gradually whisk in the milk until fully blended and strain through a fine sieve to remove any foam.
- 4
Pour the custard over the set caramel, then place the mold in a deep baking pan and add hot water to come halfway up the sides, creating a water bath.
- 5
Bake for 45 to 55 minutes until the custard is just set but still slightly jiggly in the center, then remove and cool to room temperature.
- 6
Chill for at least 4 hours, then run a knife around the edge and invert onto a plate so the caramel cascades over the top.
