Critical Success Points

  • Roll the pastry to 2‑3 mm thickness to avoid a too thick base.
  • Blind bake the tart base to ensure crispness.
  • Achieve an amber caramel without burning it.
  • Bring the custard to a boil only once to avoid egg coagulation.
  • Do not overcook the flan during the final bake.

Safety Warnings

  • Caramel reaches very high temperatures; handle with care and wear kitchen gloves.
  • Use oven mitts to remove dishes from the oven.
  • Be careful of splatters when adding the caramel to the hot mixture.
