ORANGE FLAN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a bowl whisk the eggs, egg yolks and sugar together, then add zest, orange juice, heavy cream, and salt, and whisk to combine. Strain the mixture and fill caramelized lined ramekins. Put ramekins in hot water bath and bake in the preheated oven for 18 minutes or until firm.
• Allow to cool to room temperature then refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours.
• Caramel:
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• Put the sugar and water in a saucepan, and bring to a simmer without stirring. Cover the saucepan with a lid for 2 minutes, them remove and simmer until mixture is an amber color. Pour caramel into ramekins to cover the bottom, and swirl to coat 1/3 up the sides of ramekins.
• Yield: enough to coat 4 to 6 ramekins

ORANGE FLAN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F with rack in middle.
• Bring water and 1/2 cup sugar to a boil in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved, then wash down any sugar crystals from side of pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water. Boil, without stirring, swirling pan occasionally so caramel colors evenly, until dark amber. Immediately pour caramel into baking dish and tilt to coat bottom (dish will be hot). Cool until hardened, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Whisk together remaining ingredients, including remaining 3/4 cup sugar (or blend in a blender). Pour custard over caramel.
• Bake in a water bath until custard is set 3 inches from edge but still wobbly in center, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Transfer flan in dish to a rack to cool completely, about 40 minutes (flan will continue to set as it cools). Chill until cold, at least 8 hours.
• To unmold flan, run a thin knife around edge of dish, then dip dish briefly (about 20 seconds) in a pan of very warm water. Invert a large platter with a rim over baking dish, then quickly invert to turn out flan onto platter (caramel will pour out over and around flan). Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before serving.

ORANGE FLAN (FLAN DE NARANJA)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
• Make a hot water bath for flan by setting a 9-inch pie pan (1-1/4 " deep) in a slightly larger pan. While holding pie pan down so it won't float, fill outer pan with just enough hot water to come up around pie pan. Remove pie pan and put outer pan with water in preheated oven.
• Place 3/4 cup of the sugar in a small heavy pan over medium heat. As sugar begins to melt, tip and swirl pan until sugar is completely melted and syrup is a clear, medium-amber color. Pour syrup into pie pan and, using hot pads to protect hands, tilt pan quickly to let syrup coat bottom and sides. Set on a wire rack; caramel will harden rapidly.
• In a large bowl or blender, combine remaining 1/4 cup sugar, orange juice, lemon juice, orange peel, and eggs; beat or whirl until well blended. Set caramel-lined pan in hot water bath in oven; pour in egg mixture. Bake, uncovered, for about 25 minutes or until the back of a spoon pushed gently into center forms a crevice about 3/8 inch deep.
• Remove pie pan from hot water and let cool slightly; then cover and refrigerate until cold. As flan cools, caramel liquefies.
• To unmold, loosen custard edge with a knife, then cover with a rimmed serving plate. Holding plate in place, quickly invert, turning out custard with caramel on top. Garnish with orange slices.

• Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until mixture is almost set and knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 1 hour; refrigerate 1 hour. Run knife around outside edge to loosen; turn upside down onto 12-inch round serving plate with raised sides to hold liquid. Garnish with spun sugar.
