I'm looking for an easy, delicious flan recipe that I can make with ingredients I already have on-hand. I don't have sweetened condensed milk, and most of the recipes I have seen use that ingredient. I do have evaporated canned milk.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup Powdered milk
1/3 cup Boiling water
2/3 cup Granulated sugar
3 tablespoons Butter
Put all ingredients in a blender and blend until all of the sugar is dissolved.
If the mixture is too thick for your purposes, add a few drops of water and blend.
Equals approx. 1 can sweetened condensed milk.
Hope this is ok
Flan
1/2 cup white sugar
2 egg yolks, beaten
2 cups milk*
3/8 cup white sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 350°.
In another saucepan, bring milk just to boiling over medium heat. Stir hot milk, a little at a time, into beaten eggs & egg yolks, until well combined. Stir in sugar & vanilla. Pour milk mixture evenly into ramekins.
Line roasting pan with damp kitchen towel. Place ramekins on towel, inside roasting pan, & place roasting pan on oven rack. Fill roasting pan with boiling water to reach halfway up sides of ramekins. Bake 40 minutes, until set. Let cool, invert & serve.
*For richer flan, add 1/2 cup heavy cream or sub 1 cup half n half for 1 cup milk.
You can make the caramel sauce if you like, using 1/2 cup of sugar with a touch of water boiled until a caramel color. Add 1/4 cup of water (be very careful, it will steam and bubble). This will cut the cooking immediately. Pour into ramekins or baking dish (could be a round cake pan). (You can also use a bit of maple syrup to avoid this part and still have a sweet touch to the outside of the flan).
Using your mixer, beat four eggs, add 3/4 cup of sugar, 1 tsp. of vanilla, a regular size can of evaporated mild and a pinch of salt. Pour this mixture on top of the caramel sauce and carefully place in a larger pan to which you add water up to one half of the side of the flan pan. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let cool, refrigerate and then turn upside down on a plate and enjoy!

has a number of different recipes for sweetened condensed milk.
Both Jello and Royal have a boxed flan that is very easy to make and very inexpensive and does not have to be baked like a custard. I actually do mine in the microwave. I prepare the custard cups with the caramel sauce they supply. Put the milk and the package into a large microwavable bowl, stir with a wisk and heat in the microwave stirring every minute...until it boils...have to watch...but it isn't very long.
Plenty of 'make your own sweetened condensed milk' recipes available on Google.
