Preparation

1. Sprinkle the sugar evenly in a nine-inch cake pan and place over medium heat. Using oven mitts, caramelize the sugar by shaking the pan occasionally until the sugar is melted and has turned a light golden brown. (A little stirring may be necessary when caramelizing the sugar over a gas burner.) Allow to cool. The mixture may crack slightly.
2. Blend the remaining ingredients with a wire whisk or electric mixer until egg is completely blended with the milk. Pour over the caramelized sugar. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and place it in a larger, shallow pan. Pour about one inch of hot water in the larger pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 55 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
3. Remove the pan from water and uncover. Let it cool on a wire rack at least 30 minutes. 4. Loosen the edges with a spatula. Place a serving plate upside down on top of the cake pan and quickly invert the flan onto it.
