Instructions: VLF Flan/Custard

I finally remembered to bring one of my favourite recipes in with me today so that I could share it with you all. The following is from the Simmons (I know, I know, but some of the recipes really are great-especially
when cooking for one).

1. To make caramel: In glass custard bowl dissolve sugar in water.

Microwave on HIGH (100% power) 1 to 2 minutes. (Watch carefully and remove as soon as sugar turns color).

2. To make custard: In a small bowl, whisk together all custard ingredients.

3. Pour custard over caramelized sugar.

4. Microwave on DEFROST (30% power) 2 minutes or until pudding is just set.

5. Refrigerate 1 hour or longer. Unmold.

Makes 1 serving.

I find when making this that the cooking times tend to vary quite a bit with my microwave. The main thing is just to keep an eye on both the caramel (definitely take it out the instant it turns colour) and the custard (be sure not to take it out of the microwave until it is set).
