I have great concerns about recipes in which the measures are incorrect. Attempting the recipe amounts to guessing. This recipe provides ingredients in cups (American dry measure) with corresponding ML - which is a liquid measure. 1ml should be equivalent to 1g, but the math is the recipe cannot work - all incorrect. Ex: 1 cup is equivalent to 120g, which is 180g = 1.5 C. According to this recipe 1.5C is equivalent to 375ml which is incorrect and ml is is liquid measure and this pertains to dry.

Je suis français et grand fan de flan parisien, et cette recette marche du tonnerre! Avez vous tenté de la rendre plus Canadienne en remplaçant le sucre par du sirop d'érable ?

Amazinggggggggggggg This recipe is perfect It took longer to bake for me. Like almost double the time but everyone's oven is different But do not be afraid of 6 tablespoons of cornstarch! Its fine I promise!!

There is no problem with the 6 tablespoons of cornflour- it works perfectly. If your custard gets too thick when you are cooking it on the stove it is because you have left it too long. - heat it gently and keep stirring. As soon as it is thick enough to coat a spoon take it off the heat. It is easier to mix the egg and cornflour with the hot milk by pouring the milk slowly into the egg and cornflour mix rather than the other way round (as in the recipe)

I used 6 tablespoons of cornstarch and it turned out perfect, I did not strain it though. Very good recipe.

Great recipe, clear instruction. It is exactly what I had in Paris. Don't doubt 6 Tbs cornflour. I was concerned that it was too much but it turned out to be the wonderful and silky texture that I remembered. Thank you!

I am afraid to say that I don't know why you make two crusts. Do you just have excess so you make a small one for the next time?

This is a fantastic recipe! Easy to follow instructions that make something truely delicious. Sharon D, you overlooked the custard; You are supposed to stop cooking the custard when it coats the back of a spoon, not cook it all the way. If it starts to boil, you have gone way too far.

Exactly what I eat in Paris. Absolutely delicious and foolproof to make.

I made this flan yesterday and also thought that 6 tablespoons of cornstarch was quite a lot, so I cut my quantity down to 4 tablespoons and it was perfect. Love this recipe, it's a keeper.

This looks and tastes precisely like the ones found in Parisian patisseries. My favorite French pastry. Very clear instructions. Easy to make. Wonderful.

My husband's favorite and we don't have to go to Paris for him to have it. Wonderful. Not complicated, and it tastes exactly like the Paris patisserie flan we love so much.

I wanted to love this recipe. The patisserie flans in France were my favorite. I'm an accomplished baker but this recipe didn't look anything like the picture. I think the problem is the amount of cornstarch. I was shocked it called for 6 tablespoons. It makes the custard way too thick and the recipe only says it should coat the back of a spoon and there is no way you can strain it. Could someone let me know what the correct amount should be?
Donna M.
It tasted exactly like my favorite Parisian treat. Excellent recipe.
