@dahlia - you’re welcome, and thanks for visiting!
@nikki - there’s no such thing as a perfect recipe, you can always experiment with your own recipe, provided that it turns out good for your own taste, hehe. btw, those recipes are not mine, they are sourced from different sites.

@kathy, you can use evap milk instead, or try to do leche flan recipe #2. (this recipes are not mine, it comes from different cooking sites)
December 27th, 2007 at 9:22 am
Hi!! Its great that there is a site a like yours who really give a lot of information (valuable information that is) for all people who wants to make their life a little more productive. I also do make leche flan, my wife and actually sold leche flan last christmas season and taking orders for the new year. one of my main concerns however has been the appearance of the leche flan itself. it seems the caramelized sugar would sometimes look wrinkled and not soft or evenly texture. why is that so?
January 11th, 2008 at 9:02 pm
wow, i like the idea of the pastillas being with nangka, pinipig, or in mocca! i’ll try that recipe. i’m actually selling polvoron at school, and i want to try something else. yema and pastillas is so easy to make.. tnx a lot!!
