Steps

  • Dissolve sugar in water over heat and cook until it becomes a deep golden brown caramel.
  • Pour the hot caramel into a 1.5 litre flan tin and coat the ridges carefully.
  • Simmer milk, honey, and orange zest in a saucepan until the honey dissolves.
  • Preheat the oven to 170°C and place the flan tin inside a larger roasting tin.
  • Whisk eggs with wine, then strain the hot milk mixture into the eggs while stirring.
  • Pour the custard over the caramel and fill the roasting tin halfway with boiling water.
  • Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until the custard is just set and slightly wobbly.
  • Cool the flan in the water for one hour before chilling in the fridge for six hours.
  • Invert the flan onto a deep serving plate and pour the remaining caramel over the top.
