I have had Flan in the past and love it. Here's a very easy recipe - even I can make it:

FLAN DE CARAMELO (Caramel Custard)

1 can evaporated milk

3 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup sugar (for caramel)

On the upper pan of a double boiler place the sugar with 1/4 cup water to make a caramel.

Mix the milk, eggs, vanilla and sugar and pour in the caramel pan. Place over a double boiler and cover. Let cook over medium heat for 1 hour until the custard is set. Let cool completely and then place in refrigerator. Once cold turn over onto a serving dish and serve.

Okay, it sounds like a very nice recipe for flan but what has this got to do with Panama? Is flan a main dessert in Panama or is there something from Panama that is in it?

I'm not sure how this relates to the topic?

I did a search online and apparently flan is a traditional dessert in Panama. I don't like it too much myself - it's too sweet!
