Recipe

The vanilla pod infused in the milk gives this dessert a sweet and aromatic flavour. As in most vanilla recipes, the longer the infusion time, the better the recipe will be because it will diffuse its flavours better in the liquid. If possible, use whole milk to make your pie taste better on the flan, although skimmed or semi-skimmed milk, or even vegetable milk, may also be suitable

The cooking time depends on your oven, so be sure to watch the cooking. The flan must be well set and the top must be coloured in places. To add shine to your pie, coat it with a thin layer of warm apple jelly when it has cooled well
