1. 1Step 1: For the Caramel: In a skillet, add a little of the sugar. As the sugar starts to melt, stir with a wooden spoon. Add a little more sugar, and continue to stir. Add the rest of the sugar, and keep stirring until all the sugar has melted and turned brown. Immediately pour the caramel into a bundt pan (about 22 cm in diameter), and carefully rotate the pan as the caramel cools. Make sure the whole bottom surface is covered; you may need to use the spoon to spread the caramel. Set aside to let cool.
2. 2Step 2: For the Flan: Add the remaining sugar and the vanilla to the center of a large bowl. Warm the milk, and then add it to sugar. Stir well. Add the eggs and stir gently with a whisk; the eggs do not need to be beaten completely.
3. 3Step 3: Pour the mixture into the caramelized bundt pan, and cover with foil. Place this in a pan and fill with hot water until half the mold is covered with water. Place the water bath in the oven, and bake at 320°F (160°C) for one hour. After one hour, check the flan to make sure that it has set; if not, cook it a little longer.
4. 4Step 4: Let the flan cool in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours. When ready, loosen the edges with a knife and flip onto a plate. Make sure the plate has a lip to catch the caramel.
5. 5Step 5: Serve chilled with dulce de leche or whipped cream. Enjoy!
