Leche Flan

Ingredients:
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
10 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup milk
grated rind of orange or lemon

Procedure:
1. Combine 3/4 cup of sugar and 3/4 cup of water.
2. Boil together without stirring until light brown syrup is obtained.
3. Pour into tin mold.
4. Combine egg yolks, 1 cup sugar, and milk. Blend well.
5. Strain, then add finely-grated rind of orange or lemon.
6. Pour mixture into syrup-lined mold then place in a pan of boiling water and bake in moderate heat at 350 degrees F. Bake until set for about 30-40 minutes.
