How to make Luiz Felipe Pudding
- Step 1
Place the 9 tablespoons of sugar into a flan mold.
- Step 2
Heat gently over low heat until the sugar melts and turns golden.
- Step 3
Once caramelized, remove from the heat and tilt the mold to evenly coat the bottom and sides with caramel.
- Step 4
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
- Step 5
In a blender, combine the eggs, 3 cups of sugar, margarine, and a little of the milk. Blend until smooth.
- Step 6
Gradually add the flour, continuing to blend.
- Step 7
Add the cornstarch and the remaining milk, and blend again until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- Step 8
Pour the blended mixture into the caramel-coated mold. Cover the mold with aluminum foil.
- Step 9
Place the mold in a bain-marie (a larger baking dish with hot water) and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for 35 to 45 minutes.
- Step 10
For the last 5 minutes of baking, remove the foil so the top can brown slightly.
- Step 11
Allow the pudding to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate.
- Step 12
Remove from the oven and let the flan rest for 5 minutes. Carefully unmold onto a serving plate.
