Cuban Flan

2 cans evaporated milk
3 cup sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup water
8 eggs

In small frying pan, melt down 1 cup of sugar until golden brown.
Be careful not to melt too quickly or burnt taste will result. Pour
in and around large mold.  Using blender place 4 eggs and beat
slightly; add 1 cup and beat again. Turn off for a moment to add
1 can of milk and 1/2 cup water from rinse can. Add 1/2 of the
vanilla and beat without frothing.

Pour into caramelized mold. Repeat again with other half of
ingredients.  Place in pan with 1 inch of water in pan. Cook about
1 hour at 350 degrees. Test by inserting sharp knife. If it comes
out clean it's done.  Let cool and refrigerate. Before serving,
press down around edges with a knife. Invert mold onto platter so
that caramelized sugar oozes over it.  Serves 12.
