3. 3. Heat up the oven to 180°C.

4. 4. Beat the eggs in a bowl with the remaining sugar until pale yellow. Bring the milk to the boil again, then gradually add it to the eggs, stirring constantly.

7. 7. Pierce the centre of the flans with the tip of a knife to see if they are ready. If they still produce liquid, bake for a few more minutes.

8. 8. Remove the flans from the oven and leave them to cool, then put them in the fridge for at least an hour, or overnight.

9. 9. Before serving, separate the flan from the mould with a knife, place a plate on top then vigorously turn the plate with the mould upside down. Tap the mould gently if the flan does not fall out. When you feel that the mass has come loose from the mould, gently remove it.
