Anyway, here's a slightly modified Betty Crocker recipe because I didn't care to make 6oz cups for 6 people - and I don't own a 6oz cup anyway?
What you'll need:
1. 4 1 cup sized bowls (I have these tiny pyrex bowls that are 1 cup sized, so I used two of them and one 2 cup sized bowl) - You'll need one giant bowl in which you can place these little cups and surround them by water.
1/3 cup sugar (i only had raw turbinado, so I went with the flow)
2 eggs - beaten
1 tsp vanilla
a pinch of salt
1/4 cup sugar (this goes into the flan itself)
1 2/3 cup of whole milk (or 2% if you're feeling adventurous i suppose)
Here's what you need to do:
0. Preheat the oven to 350F.
1. Melt the 1/3 cup sugar on a low flame pan, till it becomes liquid and brown - with the turbinado, it takes a while to get there and you can help it along with a little water. When it's done - divide equally amongst the four cups, and let sit for 10 minutes till it hardens and cools.
2. Set a pot of water to boil, when it boils turn it off and set it aside.
3. Microwave the milk for 4 minutes - till it is very warm, and set aside.
4. Beat eggs, vanilla essence, 1/4 cup sugar.
5. Add the milk very very slowly and mix.
6. Divide equally amongst the four cups and place it in the bigger bowl. Surround it with the hot water till the water level is up to about an inch from the top of the cup.
7. Place in the oven for ~30 minutes, till you insert a knife or something sharp and it comes out clean.
8. Remove, and let cool and invert onto a bowl after it's cooled for like 30-40 minutes.
