FLAN
(6-8 servings)

3/4 c. sugar (for caramel)
1 quart milk
1 c. sugar
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
4 egg yolks
6 eggs, lightly beaten

Cook the sugar to caramelize it, then pour it into an earthenware mold, turning it around so that the bottom and sides of the mold are covered with caramel.

Heat the milk with the cup of sugar and the vanilla for about 10 minutes.  Let cool slightly, then add the egg yolks and teh beaten eggs.  Mix thoroughly.  Remove and discard the vanilla bean.  Pour the egg mixture into the caramel-lined mold.

Place the mold in a larger pan of hot water and bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for about 1-1/2 hours or until set.  Cool completely before unmolding.
