Suman Flan Recipe
INGREDIENTS:
- 1/4 kilo malagkit (glutinous rice)
- 1 big can of condensed milk
- 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract / Lemon juice
- 4 whole eggs
- 1-2 tablespoon of sugar per tin or llanera
- 200 ml water for cooking the glutinous rice
Yields: 3 llaneras
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Cook the malagkit or glutinous rice in water. Make sure it is not fully cooked because it will continue cooking in the steamer. Set aside to cool.
- Prepare the flan batter. In a bowl or sauce pan, break and put the eggs. Whisk slowly until smooth. Add the condensed milk. Stir to incorporate well. For flavoring, add vanilla extract. Add the pre-boiled glutinous or malagkit rice to the flan batter. Mix well. Pour the flan batter to the tins with hardened caramelized sugar.
- Cover each tin with aluminum foil. Prepare water in the steamer. Wait for the water to boil before placing the tins or llaneras.
- Steam for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted to the flan comes out clean. Done!
- How to caramelize the sugar: In each llanera or tin that you will use, put at least 2 tablespoons of sugar. Caramelize per tin separately. Heat the tin with the sugar over low heat. Stir using a spoon. Make sure the sugar is spread evenly in the tin by making a circular motion while spreading the sugar. Keep a close watch to ensure that the sugar will not be burnt or overcooked. Once the sugar has caramelized and liquefied, remove the tin from the heat. Using a pot holder, move the tin around to spread the caramelized sugar. Do the same to the 2 remaining tins. Set aside to cool for about 4 minutes before adding the flan batter, This is to ensure that the caramel has set.
Cooking Tips:
- If you want more, just double the recipe. You may also steam the flan batter first for a few minutes before adding the malagkit rice.
- I used whole eggs instead of just the egg yolks because I find it more creamy.
- You may also add a teaspoon of lihiya and pandan while cooking the malagkit rice.
- You can substitute the water needed for cooking rice with coconut milk.
