Flan!!!

[Tindomul]

Flan from scratch.
If I can do it, you can too!
Ingredients:
2 cups of milk, Bits of Lemon Skin(not too many), 1 cinnamon stick, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 6 egg yolks, 3 egg whites, 3/4 cups of white sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and 1 can condensed milk.
A cylindrical molding pot, and a pressure cooker.

Ok first you want to get the three egg whites with their yolks into a mixing bowl. Then separate the egg whites from the yolks from three new eggs. Add the 3 additional egg yolks to the first three.
Mix the eggs, then stop, add the condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix quickly till its all mixed, and stop.
Boil 2 cups of milk with lemon skin and cinnamon stick and salt. Keep a close watch or you'll have a mess quickly. When boiled, add this to your mixed eggs in the mixing bowl. Collate it so the cinnamon and lemon skin stays out of your new mixture.
Now leave that aside for while.
Get you cylindrical molding pot (make sure it fits into your pressure cooker), and add 3/4 cup of white sugar. You want to heat that sugar till it melts. As it melts, swirl the liquid sugar till it has coated the sides of the pot. Once all the sugar has melted etc.... add the egg and milk mixture to the pot and place the pot in the pressure cooker. This is now your flan pot. Add enough water to the pressure cooker (not your flan) so that the flan pot floats a bit, enough so that its not touching the sides of the pressure cooker. Now you are ready to close that pressure cooker and cook for 30 minutes.
To check if your flan is ready, drive a knife through the flan. If the knife comes up wet and gooey, cook for a bit longer. If it comes out clean, its ready!!

Hope you all try this one. Let me know how it turns out!

Hmmm, I suppose you could, but it wouldn't look like the traditional flan. Plus can you fit one of those into a pressure cooker?
