Here is my favorite recipe for flan, try it.

1/2 cup sugar
2 T. water
2 cups milk
1/2 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
pinch of salt

Choose a one qt. mold with a smooth inside surface or use 6 individual
molds.

To carmelize the mold in a small saucepan, over high heat, boil 1/2
cup sugar with 2 T. water. When golden, pour into a mold, turning quickly in
all directions to coat the bottom.

In a blender put milk, sugar, eggs, vanilla and salt and blend 3 min. on
med. speed.
Pour into the mold, place the mold in a larger pan, Pour warm water into the
larger pan halfway up the sides of the mold.

Bake at 325 degrees in a pre heated oven for about 1 hour. Check
occasionally during baking
to make sure it does not boil. If it does reduce oven slightly but not
below 300 degrees.

Test for doneness by inserting a kitchen knife halfway down the custard. If
the knife comes out clean it's done.
Cool 1 hour and refrigerate at least 3 hours.

Based on my experience, there isn't a lot of baking that happens in
Mexico. Many of the homes I have been in don't even have ovens. The
desserts I find most frequently are flan, rice pudding (called "arroz
con leche") and various gelatines. The cakes that I have had have all
been bought from cake bakers and they are very interesting. They are
very moist, sometimes almost seeming to have gelatine in them. There
are also a wide variety of sweet breads available, which are much less
flavorful than those you typically find in US bakeries. I don't have
any specific recipes for you, I'm afraid.
