I received this recipe from my mother-in-law who is from bucaramanga, colombia. It's delicious!!!

Steps

---

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

---

Melt the sugar in a non-stick loaf pan over low heat , sliding the pan around constantly until the sugar is liquid but not burned.

---

Alternatively you could melt the sugar in a separate pot and pour into a loaf pan.

---

Combine the can of condensed milk , 3 / 4 of the same can of water , eggs and vanilla extract in a blender and blend until smooth.

---

Pour this mixture over the melted sugar in the loaf pan.

---

Prepare a bano de maria by placing the loaf pan into a casserole dish and fill the casserole dish with water around the loaf pan until the water is about half-way up the loaf pan.

---

Place casserole dish with water and loaf pan steady in the middle into the oven on the center rack and bake for about 1 hour.

---

Flan is done when you insert a knife into the center and it comes out clean.

---

After removing , take the loaf pan out of the hot water and place in refrigerator for 5 hours or overnight until completely cooled.

---

To serve , place a dish over the pan and ho.
