Flan and Creme Caramel
There are actually two types of flan: one is a tart pastry filled with a fruit or cream mixture; the other is a form of egg custard made in a mold. It's a wonderful dessert that comes to us from Spain and is served cold, usually with a caramel sauce. This type of custard is also commonly known as creme caramel, but the custard can be flavored with other ingredients as well.
