CHAPTER 2
In the later part of the 20th century crème caramel occupied an excessively large amount of territory
in European restaurant dessert menus. This was probably due to the convenience, for restaurateurs,
of being able to prepare a lot in advance and keep them until needed.Crème caramel is a variant of
plain custard (crème) where sugar syrup cooked to caramel stage is poured into the mold before
adding the custard base. It is usually cooked in a bain-marie on a stove top or in the oven in a water
bath. It is turned and served with the caramel sauce on top, hence the alternate French
name crèmecaramel renversée.
Turning out larger dishes requires care, as the custard easily splits. Larger dishes also require more
care to avoid undercooking the interior or overcooking the exterior. Thus, crème caramel is often
cooked and served in ramekins.
An imitation of crème caramel may be prepared from "instant flan powder", which is thickened
with agar or carrageenan rather than eggs. In some Latin Americancountries, the true custard
version is known as "milk flan" (flan de leche) or even "milk cheese", and the substitute version is
known as just "flan".
We were trying to search for a llanera or the oblong shape tin container that is normally
used to make Flan in the Philippines, but we cannot find one from our local stores. We
ended up getting a round baking pan online. It was worth it though, and we were able to
make many delicious cake varieties from it too.
