Flan is a thing of beauty when it is done right. I LOVE it. This is a Mexican version of creme caramel I guess. Best served slightly warm in my opinion, it doesn't have the same crunchy top, rather the caramel is like an unctuous syrup that is served around the silky custard. Just heavenly. (Oh, and yes, Mexican origin! Those culinary genius'. Gotta love 'em.)
