Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4 beaten eggs
  • 1 (16 oz.) can pumpkin

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. In a heavy skillet, cook the 1 cup sugar over medium-high heat until it begins to melt.

  6. Fill the roasting pan with hot water to a level halfway up the sides of the pie dish.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 35 minutes, or until the flan is set.

  9. Optional: top with sweetened whipped cream before serving.
