Overview
Ingredients
Serves 4 to 6 persons
4 large eggs
500 ml of milk (2 and a half cups)
100 g of sugar (5 tablespoons or half a cup)
for the caramel
4 tablespoons of sugar (1/3 cup)
3 tablespoons of water
How to Prepare the Caramel & Flan Mixture
1- Caramel preparation. Place the sugar for the caramel in a saucepan and add 2 or 3 tablespoons of water. Turn on the fire and leave until it browns. Wait for it to turn a nice golden colour. When the caramel reaches the golden colour you want, pour it into the cake tin where you are going to prepare the flan. This will serve as the outer layer of your flan.
2-Preparation of the flan. In a bowl, place the eggs and sugar and beat. Add the milk and beat again. Pour the mixture into the caramelized cake tin. Cover with aluminium foil, a dessert plate, or the lid of the pan.
Final Steps
Oven Flan: If you want to bake the egg flan, place the container with the flan mixture inside a glass container suitable for the oven and cover half the outer cake tin with water. Place in the oven at a temperature between 175-190ºC for approximately 1-1.25 hours with heat up and with the flan covered (with a lid or aluminium foil).
OR
Cooking in a conventional pot via bain-marie: place the flan mixture in a glass container, which is then put in a bigger pot. Then put a little water in this outer layer pot, until you reach 3 or 4 centimetres from the flan and cover the larger pot, containing the water and glass container with your flan mixture. Cook over with low flames for about an hour so the water doesn’t evaporate or bubble around.
Flan NFTs
The FlanClan NFTs are a limited-run, hand-drawn series by my lovely girlfriend @morimochi_art.
It is our sincere wish that they bring you as much joy as they brought to us while creating them. Each image was meant to represent different aspects of Cardano, crypto and pop culture. They’re imbued with our humour and affection for all they represent.
We don’t make great promises of riches or anything of the sort. We just believe that NFTs should primarily be for fun. If you want to flannify yourself, and want a custom image, feel free to let us know, and we’d be delighted to do so!
Flan NFTs Roadmap
It’s a cute picture of a flan, and in a year’s time, it will still be a cute picture of a flan – it’s the ultimate stablecoin!
Holders of the NFTs may be entitled to additional bonuses in due time, in connection to the Flantoshi stakepool, as well as future Flantoshi related projects. However, this is not a guarantee, and the NFTs are primarily there for fun.
Terms and Conditions
I won’t bore you with the legalese in this document. You can find them here.
So I’ll just mention the highlights.
Ownership of the NFT grants you a license to use your image however you see fit. But this comes with three conditions:
- If the commercialization or use of these images is expected to generate over $1m turnover a year, the NFT owners must reach an agreement with the Flantoshi & Flan Clan brand rightsholders, regarding their use thereof.
- Any commercialization efforts below this threshold must not imply or suggest that the originators thereof are from the Flan Clan team or Flantoshi.
- Any image within the FlanClan NFT collection may be used by Flantoshi and designated parties for merchandising and marketing material.
In short, if you become an NFT owner, you and the Flan Clan are co-custodians of the characters themselves and you may use the respective characters you own for your financial benefit, provided that you are not using them for a major production, which does require further agreements.
Conclusion
They’re just cartoon pictures of cute flans, let’s not overthink things, ok?
With all sincerity though, I’d like to thank you. I’ve been honoured to have a community that is thoughtful, humorous and generally quite caring.
It is a privilege to have your company and trust. It’s a responsibility I don’t take lightly!
