Flan is a classic Mexican dessert that uses sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk to create a smooth and creamy custard. This recipe for Faith's Flan adds a delicious caramelized sugar topping for an added burst of sweetness and texture. This dessert is commonly served at special occasions such as weddings, birthdays, and other celebrations. In Mexico, it is also often enjoyed as a mid-morning or afternoon snack.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2.	In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, tablespoon of sugar, vanilla, and eggs. Blend until smooth.
3.	In a small saucepan, heat 1/4 cup of sugar over medium-high heat until it melts and turns golden brown.
4.	Pour the caramelized sugar into a 9-inch round cake pan, swirling to evenly coat the bottom.
