Ingredients

- Wheat Flour - 6.3 oz
- Butter - 3.5 oz
- Salt - ¼ teaspoon

Step by Step guide
Step 1
Prepare the dough. To do this, mix the flour, salt, sugar, and diced cold butter until you get a crumbly texture.
Step 2
Pour in the water and quickly knead the dough. Do not knead for too long, or the butter will melt and the dough will become tough.
Step 3
Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator for 30–40 minutes.
Step 4
Prepare the custard. Whisk the yolks with sugar until pale. Add the starch and whisk again.
Step 5
Mix the milk and cream, and pour them into a saucepan. Split the vanilla pod in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Add both the seeds and the pod to the milk mixture. Place on the heat and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat, cover, and let it sit for 10–15 minutes. Then strain.
Step 6
While constantly whisking, slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture. Transfer to a clean saucepan.
Step 7
Place on low heat and cook, stirring constantly with a whisk, until the mixture thickens.
Step 8
Remove from the heat, transfer to a bowl, and cover the surface of the custard with a bag or plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
Step 9
Take the dough out of the refrigerator. Roll it out to a thickness of 2–3 mm. Carefully roll the dough onto a rolling pin to transfer it to the mold. Place the dough on the bottom and sides of the mold (a springform pan is preferable).
Step 10
Prick the dough with a fork in several places, place foil on top, and weigh it down with beans, rice, peas, or metal coins. Bake in a preheated oven at 338°F for 12–15 minutes.
Step 11
Remove, take off the foil with the weights. Pour the custard into the base and smooth it out.
Step 12
Return the mold to the oven (do not change the temperature) and bake for one hour. The top of the flan should be golden brown. Let it cool completely and serve.
