How to prepare:

1. Heat sugar in a heavy flat-bottomed pa over medium heat.
2. When sugar crystals become brown or caramelized, add water. Let simmer until the sugar melts. Simmer further until sugar syrup reaches soft ball stage. To test for soft ball stage, get a bowl of cold water. Put a drop of syrup into the bowl. Hold the drop and see if it forms into a soft ball in 10sec.
3. Pour caramelized sugar through a strainer into the leche flan molds (1/2 cup capacity). Molds must be heat resistant. Let cool.
4. In a Mini That’s A Bowl, blend egg yolks, condensed milk, evaporated milk and lemon extract.
5. Strain though a gauze cloth or through a fine mesh skimmer. Pour egg mixture to cooled mold.
6. Put molds in a streamer.
7. Put streamer over high fire until water boils. When water is boiling, put fire to low.
8. Cook for 30-45min or until set. To test if done, insert s toothpick at the middle of the flan, and remove. Toothpick must come out clean.
9. When cooked, remove from steamer and let cool.
10. To unfold, run s knife along the sides of the mold. Put a plate upside down on the top of the mold. Flip over.
