All-Egg-Yolk Leche Flan

munchkinmommy | December 30, 2009

I love leche flan and I love making it, specially after I’ve perfected the art of caramelizing sugar.  Thank you, Paula Deen!  There’s one recipe I’ve been following religiously for the longest time now.  While I love that recipe, which you can find HERE, I have to say that as of Christmas 2009, I’ve already [...]
