Ingredients
1 large orange
2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for natural sweetness)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
Preparation
Prepare the Orange:
Zest the Orange: Start by zesting the orange. Set the zest aside.
Juice the Orange: Cut the orange in half and squeeze out the juice. You should get about 1/2 cup of fresh orange juice.
Prepare the Flan Mixture:
Heat the Milk: In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it’s warm but not boiling. Remove from heat.
Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, orange zest, orange juice, honey or maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Mix and Strain:
Blend the Mixture: Gradually add the warm milk to the egg mixture, whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from curdling.
Strain: Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into another bowl to ensure a smooth texture.
Prepare the Baking Dish:
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Pour Mixture: Pour the strained mixture into individual ramekins or a large flan dish.
