Leche Flan

In each llanera, place 3 tablespoons of sugar. Set llanera over the stove on low heat, and using tongs, move llanera repeatedly over flames until sugar is melted and golden.

Continuously tilt and swirl the llanera to ensure even melting and to distribute melting liquid on the bottom of the mold. Remove from heat and allow caramel to cool and harden.

In a medium bowl, combine egg yolks, evaporated milk, and condensed milk. Gently stir in a circular motion until blended.

With a cheesecloth, strain the egg-milk mixture. Pour strained mixture into prepared llaneras.

Cover the llaneras with foil and arrange them in a wide, oven-safe dish with about 1 inch of water (water bath).

Bake in a 375 F oven for about 50 minutes to 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the custard comes out clean.

Remove from oven, allow to cool, and refrigerate to set. To serve, turn the flan over on a serving plate, ending with caramel on top.
