Flan (pie)

Flan is a very delicious pie that is made by putting special ingredients in a pan and cooking it in the oven. The ingredients are like a secret recipe and they make the flan taste amazing!

The flan is different from other pies because it is very soft and creamy like pudding, but it is also a little bit firm. When you eat it, it melts in your mouth and feels very smooth.

To make flan, you need some special ingredients like eggs, sugar, milk, and sometimes vanilla. These ingredients are mixed together in a big bowl until they become a gooey liquid.

Then, the liquid is poured into a pan that is lined with caramel. Caramel is like a special kind of sugar that turns a pretty color when heated. It makes the flan taste even better!

The pan with the flan mixture is then put in the oven to bake. The heat from the oven makes the flan cook and become firm. After some time, you can take it out of the oven and let it cool.

Once the flan is cool, you can eat it as it is or you can decorate it with some fruits or whipped cream to make it even tastier. Yum!
