Instructions

Step 1 — Make the Salted Caramel

4. Strain custard through a fine-mesh sieve for an ultra-smooth texture.
5. Pour custard over caramel and pecans.

Step 3 — Bake in a Water Bath

1. Place flan dish in a larger pan; fill outer pan halfway with hot water.
2. Bake 45–60 minutes until center jiggles slightly like gelatin.

Step 4 — Chill & Serve

1. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
2. Run a knife around edges and invert onto plates.
