What is Pudim Flan?
Pudim flan, also known as flan, is a creamy custard dessert with a soft caramel topping. It’s similar to crème caramel and is made with simple ingredients like milk, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. The magic happens during the cooking process, turning these basic ingredients into a rich, creamy delight.
A Little History
Custard desserts like pudim flan have been around for ages. The first documented recipe was in "La cuisiniere provencale" by Jean Baptiste Reboul, published in 1897. Over time, flan became a favorite in Europe and Latin America. By the late 20th century, it was a popular dessert in European restaurants, especially in Portugal.
Paul and I have tasted pudim flan in different parts of Portugal, and every place has its own special twist. The Braga region in the north is known for its extra-rich and smooth flan.
