"This recipe for flan is HORRIBLE. I've made plenty of flans and wanted to give this one a try, but I took one bite and threw out the rest. The recipes that I've used for flan call for sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, vanilla, eggs, and cream cheese, which gives the flan it's signature velvety, creamy, custard texture. This recipe turned into a curdled, gross egg mixture, despite meticulously following the directions. Even more, when I make caramel for flan, I just cook sugar by itself in a pan and get WAY better results. I don't know what the deal is with the water and lemon, to me it came out bitter. This was seriously a disaster of a flan recipe. There are much easier recipes that will yield far better tasting results.
