Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Put the granulated sugar in a 9-inch cake pan or pie plate, set on the center rack in the oven, and bake until the sugar is caramel colored, 8 to 12 minutes. Swirl to cover the bottom of the pie plate with the caramel.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Stir in pumpkin puree. In a medium bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, eggs, and vanilla. Thoroughly blend the egg mixture into the pumpkin puree.
- Set the pie plate in a large roasting pan, and pour the custard over the caramel. Carefully pour enough hot tap water into the roasting pan to reach halfway up the sides of the pie plate. Bake until the custard is set, about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Cool and chill in the refrigerator. Run a knife around the outside edge of the flan and invert it onto a rimmed plate. Cut into wedges or scoop and serve with a dollop of whipped cream.

Steps:
- Lay out 6 - 4oz custard dishes in a deep casserole dish and preheat the oven to 350° F.
- Combine sugar and water in a small pot on high heat. Once the sugar begins to boil, reduce heat to medium and cook (carefully swirling occasionally) until it turns amber in colour. Brush the crystals forming on the side of pot back into the cooking sugar with a heat resistant brush or spatula..
- Immediately and taking great care as the caramelized sugar is over 300° F, pour the sugar into each of the custard dishes so that a thin layer of caramel covers the bottom of each dish.
- Warm the coconut milk in a pot along with the honey and then transfer to a mixing bowl with the pumpkin, egg, cardamom, cinnamon and salt in a mixing bowl and whisk very well.
- Divide the mixture evenly between the custard dishes.
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Carefully pour the boiling water into the casserole dish so that the water level comes half way up the custard dishes.
- Place them in the oven carefully (so the water does not roll over the edge of the dishes).
- They should take about 25 minutes but check after 20 as you do not want to over-cook. Carefully slide out the oven rack and then give one of the dishes a little shake. They will be ready to take out of the oven when they are set on the edges but just slightly wiggly in the center.
- Let the flans cool in the water for 10 minutes and then remove and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
- To serve, run a paring knife around the edges of the dish a few times and then invert onto a plate. It may require a little tapping to persuade the flan out of the dish. Serve as is or with some roasted apple as in the picture.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350º. Heat a kettle of water and set aside. You'll need it later.
- Pour 1/2 cup sugar into a 9-inch round cake pan. Shake the pan to distribute the sugar evenly in the pan. Cook over medium heat until the sugar melts and turns light brown. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. You will hear it crack as it cools. That's totally normal.
- In a small pot, heat the milk and remaining 1/2 cup sugar over medium heat. Stir frequently. When the mixture is hot and frothy, turn off the heat.
- Using a stand mixer or electric mixer, blend the remaining ingredients. Slowly add the hot milk using a low speed. When it's well blended, pour the mixture over the now-cooled caramelized sugar.
- Place the cake pan into a roasting pan. When the water is very hot, pour it into the roasting pan about an inch deep. Put the whole thing in the oven and bake for 60-70 minutes, until a knife stuck in the center comes out clean. The flan will still be jiggly at this point, so don't mistake its being jiggly as a sign that it's not done.
- Remove cake pan from water and set it to cool on a wire rack. When it's no longer warm, cover and chill.
- To serve, loosen edges and invert onto a serving platter. All of the wonderful syrup from the bottom of the pan will pour out overtop of the flan.

EASY PUMPKIN FLAN
Most flans are so labor intensive, this one is relatively easy. The original recipe I found in an e-book didn't call for the pumpkin and spice, which I added. It said "1 1/2 cans water" and that can mean anything but the cup of pumpkin moistened it up nicely!

- For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
- Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or pumpkin pie spice to the batter for a more intense flavor.
- For a creamier flan, use whole milk instead of low-fat milk.
- To prevent the flan from curdling, temper the eggs by slowly whisking them into the hot milk mixture.
- Bake the flan in a water bath to prevent it from cracking.
- Let the flan cool completely before refrigerating it. This will help it to set properly.
