Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s warming up, let’s start by making the caramel. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and water. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves, then let it boil without stirring until it turns a beautiful golden brown. Carefully pour this caramel into the bottom of your muffin tin or mini flan molds, swirling it around to coat the base. You’ll want to work quickly here, as caramel can harden fast!
