Flan - how much would you expect to pay

I had a nice Creme Brulee once with saffron and honey on top. It was quite good, but to tell you the truth I don't think it was better than a regular Creme Brulee with caramelized sugar on top. |

But it imparted a nice flavor, and was different from the norm. I do know that restaurant sold desserts to about 40% of their customers, so I guess it was good. |

It is made with cream rather than milk, and with egg yolks instead of whole eggs, and more of them. Creme Caramel is cooked with the caramel in the bottom to make that nice sauce that ends up on top when you invert the dish onto a plate. The sugar topping is added juste before serving and caramelized just before serving in order to give that warmth and crispiness that provide different textures and warmth. |
