Caramel Custard Pudding..

Caramel pudding/ caramel custard/ caramel flan......is a delicious traditional dessert with creamy caramel over the silky custard.

Ingredients:

1. Milk: 500 ml.
2. Sugar: 1/2 cup.
3. Eggs: 4.
4. Sugar for caramelizing: 3 tbsp.

Method:

• First we have to make the caramel and prepare the custard pan. I am making the caramel in the pan itself.Put 3 tbsp of sugar on the dish with which you are making the pudding.Melt sugar when it is turn to brown.
• Swirl the pan with tongs...and please be careful, caramel is very hot and can cause severe burns...
• Into the blender, add in the eggs and sugar.And blend for a minute.
• Pour the milk into it. And blend again for a minute or two. The milk I used is not boiled as it is pasteurized.
• Pour this into the prepared custard pan.
• Place the custard in the steamer....and close the lid. Once steam comes, simmer for 10-12 minutes and then switch off fire and leave it for another 5 minutes.
• Custard pudding is ready. Allow it to cool down to room temp. and refrigerate them....for better setting of the pudding!!
• To serve, run a knife through the sides of the pan and then place the pan on the plate you are serving, bottom side up....and slowly pull up the pan.
