Flan de Tres Leches
A classic Mexican flan built on the trio of condensed, evaporated and whole milk, set into a silky egg custard over a layer of hand-made amber caramel. Chilled and turned out, it arrives glossy with its own caramel sauce pooling around the base.

Instructions
1
Heat 38g sugar with the water in a small pan over medium heat, swirling (not stirring) until it melts and turns deep amber, about 4-5 minutes.
2
Immediately divide the hot caramel between 2 ramekins, swirling each to coat the base, then set aside to harden.
3
In a bowl, whisk the whole egg, egg yolk, condensed milk, evaporated milk, whole milk, vanilla extract and cinnamon until fully combined but not frothy.
4
Pass the custard mixture through a sieve into a jug to remove any egg strands.
5
Pour the strained custard evenly over the hardened caramel in each ramekin.
6
Place the ramekins in a deep baking dish and pour hot water into the dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
7
Bake at 160°C (325°F) for 38-42 minutes, until the custard is set at the edges but still has a gentle wobble in the centre.
8
Remove ramekins from the water bath and cool to room temperature, then cover and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
9
Run a thin knife around the edge of each ramekin, place a plate on top, and invert so the caramel sauce flows over the custard.
10
Serve immediately, spooning any extra caramel from the ramekin over the top.
