Tips for Perfect Flan Loaf Every Time

• Always strain your flan mixture. This is the secret to super smooth flan.
• Don't overcook. Overcooked flan will have bubbles and will be hard.
• Chill overnight if you can. It tastes better and slices perfectly the next day.
• Use low heat when making caramel to avoid burning.
