Melt the granulated sugar and water in the mold for 8 minutes, until it becomes light amber caramel.
Spread the caramel over the bottom of the mold and leave it to set for 5 minutes.
Whisk the egg yolks without foaming, then add the condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract.
Pass the custard through a fine sieve and pour it into the caramel-lined mold.
Cover the mold with foil and steam for 42 minutes, until the center jiggles slightly.
Bring the leche flan to room temperature, then chill it in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
Loosen the edges with a knife and invert onto a serving plate.
💡 Tip: Do not darken the caramel too much; in the thin metal molds common in Turkish homes, the residual heat keeps cooking it, so a light amber color is enough.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve leche flan cold in small slices, with optional plain Turkish coffee or unsweetened tea.
