How to make perfect leche flan recipe

Leche flan is a favourite and popular dessert in the Philippines. Leche flan is a must during Christmas, New Year and fiestas. As for me who has a sweet tooth, Leche flan is one of my favorite desserts all year round.

Leche flan is a Filipino caramel custard made from egg yolks, milk, and sugar. Either steamed or baked, there are innumerable ways to make this popular dessert. It looks and tastes like crème brûlée with a few exceptions, one of which is that a leche flan is baked/steamed in an oval mold called a llanera that has been lined with caramelized sugar.
