Here’s a delicious and easy recipe for Steamed Egg Custard, a creamy, silky dessert that’s similar to flan. This dessert is popular in many cultures and is known for its delicate texture and rich flavor. It’s steamed rather than baked, which makes it a great option if you don’t have an oven.
Steamed Egg Custard (Flan-Style Dessert)
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (divided)
- 2 cups whole milk (or you can substitute with heavy cream for a richer custard)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Caramel:
- In a small saucepan, place 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar over medium heat.
- Allow the sugar to melt, swirling the pan gently. Do not stir, as it can cause the sugar to crystallize.
- Once the sugar is fully melted and turns a golden amber color, carefully pour it into the bottom of your custard cups or ramekins. Swirl the caramel around to coat the bottom evenly. Be careful, as the caramel will be very hot.
- Set the ramekins aside and let the caramel cool and harden.
2. Make the Custard Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar until smooth and combined.
- Heat the milk (or heavy cream) in a small saucepan over medium heat until it is warm but not boiling. You can also heat it in the microwave.
- Gradually add the warm milk to the egg and sugar mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
3. Strain the Custard:
