SLC21-W6 // Flan
Assalamu'alaikum everyone.
Through this "Steemit Learning Challenge Season 21" with our sixth class, ''SLC21-W6 // Flan'', we all had a vast knowledge about preparing everyone’s favorite dessert flan. From our honorable teachers @dasudi and @lirvic mam, I got knowledge about preparing dessert items. They thoroughly discuss, showing every process of making it and endly give us a home task to make us experienced chefs day by day. From my personal experience, I can share that before participating in this course I never tried any dessert item or experienced any tough item which was new for me. But by participating here I get out of my fear and build my confidence to take any cooking challenge.

✓ Did you have any difficulties in making your flan?
As I said it is my first time attempting to make this flan so I was a little nervous about the final result of it. I was also anxious about the taste of it. In fact, before testing the inner portion with a toothpick whether it is well cooked or not, my heart is fasting first. Though I learned this whole process through the course, there is a difference between learning and doing it physically. Finally, I succeeded and the taste of the flan was appealing.
✓ Do you have any special tips for making flan? Share them.
All my experienced Steemians are participating here and I also dare to show my small effort of preparing flan. Doing this course physically I can share some of my personal tips with you –
In time for making caramel, we should be concerned about the measurement of sugar and water. If the water is used more, then it becomes liquid, or if the sugar is used, then the caramel will be so sticky. This is my first attempt at making it so sticky then I that again tried with proper measurement of using the ingredients in medium flame and it became perfect.
Flan has to bake on a lower flame. Cooking it on high flame can be burnt and the inner portion will not be cooked well.

3.Before flipping it to another plate we have to cut smoothy the edges of the flan so that it will release smoothy from the pot.
