TIYA LINDA's LECHE FLAN

***NOT VEGAN of course***

10 egg yolks
2 cans of evaporated milk
1 can condensed milk
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1/3 to 1/2 cup of sugar

Preheat oven 375F. In a saucepan over medium heat, put sugar and stir until al.l melts into caramel. Pour into casserole dish (or any dish). Beat egg yolks, milk, vanilla in a bowl. Pour into dish on top of melted sugar. Put the casserole dish into a larger higher pan and pour hot water into the higher pan, for a hot bath. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until toothpick comes out clean.

Questions: Today, my 4th or 5th time making it, I bought fat free evaporated milk and used brown sugar instead of regular sugar. I wonder if brown sugar will make a difference. Since the dessert was for a gift, I used 2 small bowls to make "mini" one-serving flans to share with my roommates. I think the fatfree milk made a difference - it had a weird aftertaste, but surprisingly, my roommate declared I was getting better and better at making flan.

I wonder...it surely has to be different with the fat content in the evaporated milk.
