1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2

In a saucepan, combine sugar and water over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.

3

Cook the mixture without stirring until it turns a deep amber color, about 8-10 minutes.

4

Quickly pour the caramel into a round baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom evenly.

5

In a blender, combine eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, and salt.

6

Blend until smooth and well combined, about 30 seconds.

7

Pour the egg mixture over the caramel in the baking dish.

8

Place the baking dish in a larger baking pan and fill the outer pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the flan dish.

9

Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set and a knife inserted comes out clean.

10

Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.

11

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

12

To serve, run a knife around the edges and invert onto a serving plate.
