**The making of flan has been around for many years and can be made in many different ways. Flan is a desert that can be easily made and can be used for any special occasion or just to spoil yourself. Flan is a simple recipe that can be made, and more challenging if you were to add different ingredients.** **Flan can be made or found anywhere these days. You can find it pretty much in any restaurant, bakery, or even any country of the world. Each country though, has there own way of making flan.

topic: caramelized mexican flan
====**﻿ **"Mexican Flan(Baked caramel custard)"food.com.scripps Networks,LLC,2011.web.3May2011. ====

The main purpose f this website is to give me directions on how to make caramelized flan. It is created by scripps Networks,LLC. It is a virtual "cookbook",were many post there recipes. The page on this website that was most helpful to me was the instructions on how to put all the ingredients together with exact details on how to do it. From these directions I learned the proper way to mix all the ingredients together.

"History of flan" flan.holidaycook.com. W.J. Rayment,2006-2011.Web.12May2011.
The main purpose of this website is for flan makers to not only not know how to make it but also know what history comes along with it. This is a page were people put up post of information and facts about the history behind flan. The most helpful information on this page was basically all of it, only because I thought that all of it were important facts on the history of flan. From this article I learned that our word for flan actually is derived from the Latin, "flado", (meaning flat cake), which became "floan" in Old French.

"Signature flan(flavors)."signitureflan.com/Signature_Flan_flavors.html.signature flan,LLC,2008-2011.Web.12May2011.
The main purpose of this website is to give flan makers from all over the world recipes or ways on how to do different flavored types of flans. It is a page that gives many information about different flavors. The page on this website that was most useful to me was the one that listed all the different types of flavors. Along with the flavors also came a little description on what it contained, it regions, and what people thought of it. From this page I learned that most of the different flavored flans have about the same ingredients.The only difference is that they all contain different amounts of different spices or flavors. Thats what gives each flan it's unique taste.
